Upload validator gives wrong error message if the extension zip uses compression

This is a continuation of thread Verification fails with "Invalid file name in archive"

When I upload an extension.zip that was made by PowerShell with some level of default compression (not specified), then the upload validator fails but gives an unhelpful reason:

I must use `[System.Io.Compression.CompressionLevel]::NoCompression` and then the validator check passes.

The thread asked to submit an issue to GitHub - mozilla/addons-server: ๐Ÿ•ถ addons.mozilla.org Django app and API ๐ŸŽ‰ ยท GitHub but it looks like issues on that repository was disabled. Filing here in the hopes that a Mozilla developer comes across this thread.
