I think that returns AkStandardDirs::saveDir( "data" )/socket-$hostname/

So typically something like:
~/.local/share/akonadi/socket-$domain/

and for the testrunner the prefixed path inside /tmp/

That is a possible workaround, but I think it should be working by default and 
we're generally really close to the maximum pathlength. depending on the 
hostname and i.e. the pid of the testrunner prefix we're quickly beyond what 
works.

Note that there are also open bugs regarding this issue:

Indeed.

So I'd just suggest to adjust the default akonadiSocketDirectory().
Is there anything speaking against a default path inside $tmp?
And why do we required the domain in the path?

I'd suggest something like /var/ak-$instance-$UUID/ or even just /var/ak-$UUID
