Does anyone know of this saving to disk problem?

This is not a calibre issue it is an OS or file system limitation. What I mean by this is when you use the Save to disk feature calibre will never truncate the output in any way, shape, or fashion. The same can not be said for your OS or file system which if required will truncate the Path as needed to fit in under the Max Path limitation.
Google
path or filename character limit for your OS or file system to learn more.

But typically you should not directly use the books that are stored in the calibre library. Instead you should use the save to disk or the send to device feature.

You can save yourself a lot of trouble if you regard the calibre library as a "black box" and don't even look inside it. Instead use only the calibre GUI to save books to disk or send to device, or even email.

As indicated by the title of this thread "
Save to Disk Long Title Problem" the question by the OP has nothing to do with the internal calibre structure or how calibre truncates its internal file names.
