Not sure what is going on, but it looks like there is something wrong with the paths themselves. When the error is displayed, it is overwriting the first part of the error with the last. This implies that there may be some wonky character at the end of the path.
Do you know of anything odd in your environment that might be causing this? I copied your code and it didn't do this on my system.

pathchk(1) General Commands Manual pathchk(1)
NAME
pathchk - check path names
SYNOPSIS
pathname...
DESCRIPTION
The command checks that one or more path names are valid and portable. By default, the command checks each component of each path name
specified by the pathname parameter based on the underlying file system. An error message is written for each path name operand that:
o is longer than that allowed by the system.
o contains any component longer than that allowed by the system.
o contains any component in a directory that is not searchable.
o contains any character in any component that is not valid in its containing directory.
It is not considered an error if one or more components of a path name do not exist, as long as a file matching the path name specified by
the pathname parameter could be created that does not violate any of the checks above.
More extensive portability checks are performed when the flag is specified.
Options
The command supports the following option:
Performs path name checks based on
POSIX portability standards instead of the underlying file system. An error message is written for each path name that:
o is longer than bytes.
o contains any component longer than bytes.
o contains any character in any component that is not in the portable file name character set.

If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C". See
environ(5).
International Code Set Support
Single-byte and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, returns zero; otherwise it returns nonzero to indicate an error.

path name on your system, use:
