It is strange that this wasn't backported to jdk8u, since other changes to
zip rom around the same time are present. Also, this fix doesn't seem to
be mentioned in JIRA or the release notes.
There were API changes as part of this update so not appropriate to
backport. More generally, the zip code has changed significantly in JDK
9 to replace native implementation. I think the highest priority is to
make sure that there aren't any corner cases that were handled in 8 but
not handled in 9.
