The big difference is a git clone can generate de required file because the 
needed info is in the clone metadata. The zip file is automatically generated 
by github. We don't control this and unfortunately it doesn't contain the info 
the build needs. For that reason each release is accompanied with a release 
tarball, generated by the gnucash developers themselves and that does have  the 
missing file. You can find links to the tarball in the release announcements.

Geert
