Charlie is mincing words to get around the problem of facing the issue. The bug is valid, because xarchiver is NOT unzipping the contents of the archive: it is copying its contents to seemingly randomly-named other files. The original zipped files are NOT recovered: you get other-named files with the same content. This is untenable when unzipping a hierarchy of files and folders, or just multiple files: how is the user going to match the weird output with his expectation? He can't.
