I haven't checked this, but I'll bet it's because of the automatic 
character set conversion between Mac and Windows/Unix. So the fix 
would be to either store the thing in a custom property (which 
doesn't have this conversion done) or to run it through MacToISO or 
ISOToMac, as appropriate, before decompressing it.
