Because (as per the docs) WARs outside the appBase aren't meant to be unpacked. 
There is no bug number since I found the issue while testing something else and 
just fixed it.

Then Nexus is badly broken. No app should require that.

As a workaround, manually unpack it or put the WAR in Tomcat's appBase and have 
Tomcat unpack it.
