Sorry, but it works fine here. Imagecopy do have problems with long
filenames, but 8+3 filenames on NEWFATFS works just fine. I'm using
Imagecopy 4.2b.

Which ones? I use some old stuff myself, but as long as I stay away from
long filenames (i.e. by accessing the files through the fileselector or by
not using long filenames at all) they all work fine on NEWFATFS. As long as
they work with MiNT at all ofcourse, which many doesn't.

As stated many times before, come up with a proper bug-report and it might
be possible to find out what's happening.
