When you install resource pack using double click on .mcpack file new folder will be created and resource pack will unpacked in this folder.
Folder name will be based on truncated name of resource and contain only 10 characters. But currently Windows supports folder names that contains more symbols, we are not in DOS time so we can use full name of resource pack as folder name.
Other issue is that color characters used in resource pack name will be used in folder name too. I think color codes need to be excluded from the folder names.

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been closed as Working as Intended.
There's little risk of the packs being duplicated now as they will be recognised and fail to import. If you need help or have a suggestion you might like to follow the community support link below.

Confirmed. This affects iOS as well.
Using a truncated name for directories is a bad idea in the first place, because two different resource packs can result in the same truncated name. Directory names should be based on their UUID instead (whether you use UUIDs as-is or hash them is up to you, but I prefer the former because hash functions can collide).
