This is a known issue and unlikely ever to be fixed.  Various parts
of the shell rely on system limits such as PATH_MAX which cannot be
dynamically changed.  There's a comment with some explanation around
lines 109-137 of Src/compat.c.

The upshot is that if you try hard enough you can always create a path
that will exceed some limit or other.
