I have done unzip and uncompress as NSTask but neither yields the result as
if the compressed directory was double-clicked in the Finder.

Specifically I see now 'unzip' or 'uncompress' results.

So, what is the proper tool to undo a Finder 'Compress"

The ditto command should match the Finder's behavior. Details are
available in the man page, but something like 'ditto -x -k
yourzipfilehere.zip' should do it.
