Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

That's a limitation of the zip file format. It uses DOS time stamps,
which only support 5 bits for representing seconds. As a consequence,
within a minute, ZIP can only store even seconds.

If the number of seconds in the minute is odd on the file system, the
zipfile module rounds down to the previous even second.

Closing as "won't fix".
