This a problem because it is invalid, since it was not unzipped with the other files attached. It cannot be just re-zipped and then the collection of files unsplit and unzipped, because zipping does not reproduce the original file.

Check its settings -> applications to see if some app is automatically unzipping the first file, test_xaa.
