Skipping, with a stderr message of why, sounds reasonable to me.

Bash-ism.  To be portable, you'd have to use something like:

if test `echo "$SOCKPATH" | wc -c` -lt 108; then

And for that matter, instead of a positive test and re-indenting the
rest of the script, it might be nicer to do a negative test and early
exit, to leave the rest of the script untouched:

if test 108 -lt `...`; then
    skip_test_ "CWD too long"
fi
