Interesting, as that name is not long enough to trigger the name length 
validation. You have 64 characters total for the name. I just tried your 
scenario on the latest master branch, and it worked as expected, it created 
the template from the snapshot without issues with that exact same name.

I don't see any recent changes to the frontend code for that dialog either. If 
you look in the engine.log does it say anything? I can only assume some 
validation is failing, and that validation message is not properly propagated 
to the frontend, but it should show something in the backend log regardless.
