I knew that I had to have been stupid - what I'd missed was that the zip file needs to hold the plugin's directory with all needed files within it. My problem was a zip file that included all contained files, but not the top directory. So, to answer my original question, it seems that the zip gets unpacked "as is" into python\plugins - the XML just defines where to find the zip file initially.
