The problem is that on Windows API, to keep combability with previous versions, the maximum length for a full file name is 255 (may be a little less).
The a directory is being created relative to C:\Users\nil\Downloads\sanitize\temp, so the full file name is C:\Users\nil\Downloads\sanitize\temp\a\408_-IMG SRC=javascript:alert('XSS')-. This is 261 characters long. that is the reason to your program fail. There are ways to overcome this limit that are documented on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation. One of them is prefix your file name with \\?\, but you must use the complete file name, not a relative one like you used. The other is enabling long file names on windows and embed a manifest on your program.
