Comment (by Otto42):

 Indeed, because each server gets the files from SVN and then builds their
 own ZIP files, the timestamps on the individual files in the ZIP will be
 different, even if the content is the same. Thus, the ZIPs themselves will
 be different.

 To do this for all plugins/themes, we'd need to only build the ZIPs once
 and store them in a location all the servers can access. Or dedicate
 downloads to a single server or set of them.
