The problem is the zip format.
Yes, you are right. Running "zip -Tv" said:

zip info: mimetype has 36 bytes of extra data
zip info: META-INF/ has 36 bytes of extra data
zip info: META-INF/container.xml has 36 bytes of extra data
zip info: OPS/ has 36 bytes of extra data
zip info: OPS/011252A.png has 36 bytes of extra data
zip info: OPS/011252B.png has 36 bytes of extra data
[...]

though the final test result is OK. Ark says the mimetype file is stored with no compression, so that part is OK too.
