I wish to dual-boot Windows 98 + Windows 3.1, but I don't want to work
with partitioning my hard drive. Windows 98 is installed in a FAT32
partition - ~850MB.

Reason is that Win3.yuk only runs on pre-Win9x DOS versions, and
neither Win3.yuk nor these DOS versions support FAT32.

If it were XP and Win3.yuk, I'd wave Virtual Machine as a solution.

- Windows 98 in C:\WINDOWS
- Windows 3.1 in C:\WIN311

- boot in MS-DOS mode
- CD to the appropriate folder and give "WIN" command

Would this work? I fear that Windows 3.1' File Manager will choke on
long file names and FAT32.

Your fears are well-founded; FAT32 failure will go waaay deeper than
File Damager (think swap file management code, VCache, etc.)
