Comment (by cdevroe):

 I'm grateful to @costdev @jorbin and @peterwilsoncc (if I missed someone,
 sorry) for submitting a patch, tests, examples, and getting the PR to the
 state it is already at. Well done! 👏

 I think it is important for those finding this thread after having the
 issue to know, this issue can effect you regardless of the computer you're
 currently using. If you're reading through this thread and you're not a
 Mac user, and yet you had this issue, you might be wondering why.

 All plugins are distributed as zip files. The software that created the
 zip file, as well as the software uncompressing the zip file on your
 WordPress server, are the two factors that matter here. Without even
 knowing it, if you create a zip file on macOS or in Ubuntu or any other
 operating system, you may be creating the a zip that will trigger this
 bug.

 Additionally, if you are experiencing this bug with a zip file that you
 didn't create, or that you downloaded from a WordPress plugin or theme
 vendor's website... it is likely because the version of a piece of
 underlying software on your WordPress server is not quiet up-to-date.

 So, you can experience this issue whether or not you're on a Mac and
 whether or not you created the zip file. But stay tuned, it appears the
 WordPress team is working towards a fix.

 (I hope the fix is deployed soon!)
