Comment:

 Plugin (and Theme) zip uploaders don't implement any "drop zone" like in
 the Media uploader, which is a JavaScript based functionality. In the
 plugin uploader instead, as also @ChrisWiegman pointed out, it's just a
 default browser behavior. So if you're suggesting to implement a JS based
 solution that's perfectly OK but more a feature request than a bug. Not
 100% sure but I think there is also a previous ticket asking for the same
 feature.
