Windows 10: pathtoolongexception

I've recently run into problems while installing some programs and have been getting an error about paths exceeding 260 characters,

after some quick google searches ive tried to fix it by allowing long paths in the reg-edit only to discover that LongPathsEnabled in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem has already been set to 1

at this point I'm not quite sure what is going on or how to fix this,

File name too long when copying to a directory with shorter file path

This is weird.

I have a meanJs installation, the contents of which I copied to another folder.

Original folder path: C:\work\defaults\mean_0.3.3

File contents copied to: C:\work\defaults\a

As you can see it's obvious that the file contents are copied to a folder with a shorter name, so the file name too long error should not come, yet it does.

Is this a windows 10 bug?

Tried to do the it with copy-item command on the powershell and this is part of the output (it goes on for a while):
