Considering your wish to continue supporting emacs on DOS,
I would have thought you would jump at a possible solution like this.
If it works (and indications are that it does), then it defines
away the whole problem.  Wouldn't you welcome the idea of a DOS
port with no risk of 8.3 collisions?

What if the solution really is as easy as it appears?  Here is a
recently-updated FAQ:

Please give it an honest try before dismissing it.

Just because someone wrote about a problem does not
mean using it to build Emacs will trigger the same one.
And even if it does, report it nicely and someone might
even fix it right away.
