Hmm. I've found that tho the Server Admin won't let you set a long short
name, NetInfo Manager has no problems with it. Is this bad then if I set
longer short names here? I haven't seen any problems so far (~3 months).

Group membership- aside from the primary group, which is stored based on gid in the user record- is by short name. So if you're doing anything beyond the simplest of group management, you'll see issues with group membership unless you manually adjust it.
