Update: I was able to resolve the issue by providing the full path of the
route (duh), a value for the module key, and a default value for 'action'.
The working route looks like this:

$route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'forms/shorter-name/:action/*',
array(
'module' => 'forms',
'controller' => 'really-long-name',
'action' => 'index'
)
);

http://example.com/mvc/forms/shorter-name now works, as well as
http://example.com/mvc/forms/shorter-name/thanks and
http://example.com/mvc/forms/shorter-name/view/id/3
