Don't think it's a bug, it's you using it the wrong way.
As I understand you, you have a dependency to some archive which you unpack.
In the same project you have a system scope dependency which points at some
jar that gets unpacked from the dependency above. Don't think that would
work and I frankly don't understand what you're doing. That is not the Maven
way. You should add the jar (artifact) extracted from the archive to you
(corporate) repository instead.
