Why does the code generated from a subsystem truncate the subsystem name and limit it to 16 characters in Real-Time Workshop 5.0 (R13)?

I am trying to generate Real-Time Workshop code for a subsystem in my Simulink model by clicking on 'Build Subystem'. I have set the function name and file name in the generated code to the option 'Use subsystem name'. However, the functions in the generated code contain only the first 16 characters of the subsystem name. This problem does not occur when I build a model whose name is longer than 16 characters. Is there a limitation on the length of the subsystem name when generating code from it?

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 2 (R14SP2). For previous releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

As a workaround, set the function name to the option 'User specified' and specify the full name of the subsystem.
