R. David Murray added the comment:
The problem you are reporting looks different than the problem addressed in
issue 8390. There, the surrogates are being introduced when reading filenames
from the archive file. Here, the surrogates presumably arose because the
filename on your file system was not utf-8 encoded and so Python introduced the
surrogates to preserve the filename. The bug is that zipfile is not handling
surrogates when *building* the archive...which may in fact be correct. If I
understand correctly there are two encodings supported by zipfile, a Microsoft
code page and utf-8. Anything else should probably be rejected as invalid, but
with a better error message. If you really need to include invalid filenames
in an archive, we would introduce an explict flag for allowing that.
But, that's just my opinion. ("Be generous in what you accept, and strict in
what you send")
