I think maybe the trick is that Photoshop remembers plugins (includes all
the info into a kind of ini file so next launch it hasn't load plugin at
startup to determine what is the category etc). If PS remembers plugins only
by filename (not date/size), it might get confused seen my original plugins
first. So then the compressed files with the same names appeared and were
called, it launched them and they got decompressed.

Just a wild guess...
