Thanks for the excellent explanation.

The file/folder names in Calibre are designed for Calibre usage - not human usage so the names should not really matter.
Good point. In this case, I'd expect them to be something similar to b4b078fb64008a0fe1f020acb5311e9ecd5e50af.

By having them almost look like human understandible this is confusing.

Also, sometimes people exchange files from their libraries. Having truncated titles makes it hard to perform filename searches.

Calibre applies various algorithm's to the internal names its uses to try and ensure that the names do not break any file system limits or restrictions which is probably why you are seeing this behavior.
You mean that Windows gets a different treatment than Linux?

And: Is is possible to tweak calibre to use full-title filenames?
