Not sure, however I also find the following confusing:
>>> struct.calcsize('hb')
3
>>> struct.calcsize('hb') == struct.calcsize('bh')
False

I could understand aligning to multiples of 4, but why is 'hb' different 
from 'bh'?

try z.load_module("submodule/submodule1") instead.

Or in otherwords replace the dot with a slash, now quoting from the docs 
"'fullname' must be the fully qualified (dotted) module name.".  The dotted 
part of that doesn't seem to be correct, at least with the version of python 
(2.3.4) I'm running.

Anyway personally I find:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, 'mymodule.zip')
import submodule.submodule1

a much cleaner way of thinking about this.
