Well, I'm not on Windows, but you've got to the heart of the matter. My Mac's system unzip routine is adding the directory. Other Mac unzipping apps do the same. Probably being helpful instead of creating a potential mess. The problem was that, as I said, I haven't done a manual update in quite some time, so I forgot that I used the shell to do it before.
Code:
> unzip kobo-update-4.36.21095.zip -d ../../Desktop/Test.kobo
Archive: kobo-update-4.36.21095.zip
inflating: ../../Desktop/Test.kobo/KoboRoot.tgz
inflating: ../../Desktop/Test.kobo/manifest.md5sum
creating: ../../Desktop/Test.kobo/upgrade/

As you can see, when using the shell commands from Terminal, no external directory is wrapping the content. If I had done this instead of lazily double-clicking and click-dragging the folder over to .kobo, I would've been fine. That'll teach me to do geeky things at four in the morning.
It only took me a second to realize what had happened, then another few to correct it. My BIG mistake was posting a sleepy question here. Look at all the helpful responses I've received for a braindead mistake that I had already fixed!
