If that is how it works, then it would maybe not be necessary for the user to unzip the update package when side loading. But sure there could be some other things.
One more question: Did the un-unpacked zip file have the same file name as it was in the download link?
I had to do it again to check.

The firmware update downloaded as the same name in the link. When it downloaded and there wasn't enough space to unpack it, the message "Please remove some books or dictionaries to make space for this update to complete." was displayed. I was using telnet to check for the file name and it disappeared when the message was displayed.

For sideloading the update, it does have to be unpacked first. I've tested that before. Not deliberately, just forgot to unpack the file.
