Archive created with ZipArchive has a different 'total number of entries in central dir' parameter value than an archive created with WinZip or in WinRar

[DevExpress Support Team: CLONED FROM T297374: Archive with specific files is considered corrupted in WinRAR and WinZip]
Hello.
Now, WinZip diagnose is OK but I continue having a problem:
DevExpress zip file is not a "normal" zip file. If you diagnose the same file compressed with winzip and DevExpress you will see that "total number of entries in central dir" is different and it shouldn't be different.
In the example I have attached you will see that the "total number of entries in central dir" in Winzip is 6 and in Devexpress is 4. If you compress it with WinRar you will see that it also is 6.
By other hand, if you try to uncompress Devexpress ZIP file with Java ZipInputStream (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/zip/ZipInputStream.html) you will see that is not possible to uncompress it.
I have attached an example to demonstrate it.
Please, help me.
Thank you.
Regards.
