Indeed, it is a limitation of the dbase (dbf) format used by shapefiles.

A workaround is possible but it would take some work to implement. 
Recent versions of ESRI(tm) software support a meta-data file
(.shp.xml yes, a double extention).  In additoin to crs information
this file can contain a mapping between the 10 character collumn names
and a more more extensive and descriptive name of unlimited(?) length.
