Hmm. I can easily replicate the problem here, but interestingly it does
not happen with sub-trees like:

  git archive --format=3Dzip HEAD:drivers -o ../kernel.zip

Going back in history, I can replicate it with Ren=C3=A9's 62cdce1
(git-archive --format=3Dzip: add symlink support, 2006-10-07). So there=
's
nothing to bisect.

Cc'ing Ren=C3=A9.
