Speculation:

Compressing an already-compressed file adds characters to the end, and ADSM
stores them.  Restoring the file, ADSM doesn't strip all of the added
characters because it doesn't expect compressed files to gain in size... or
it does strip them but doesn't set the file size correctly in the FAT.  The
unzip utility sees extra characters at end, or mismatch in listed and
actual size - says "corrupted"...

IF this is the case, then turning compression off would help.  But you'll
want to check.
