Since it works for me with the same configuration (GNU Emacs 22.1 /
Tramp 2.0.55), I believe this is related to either your FTP client or
server. But we'll see. Btw, which versions of FTP client and server
are involved?

No surprise. Internally, a complete different machinery is working for
you. And which problems with long file names are you running into?
