While I more or less agree with your statement, I could find a note about some UTF-8 support extension (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15519493/how-to-add-zip-entry-with-utf-8-name-to-zip) which might help to certain extent (if supported by FPC). If nothing else, this would be probably relevant at least for a future (trunk) Unicode-compatible version of that class.
