The behaviour in 5.52-10ubuntu2 is still broken. I have a file with filenames in UTF-8, but if I try to unpack it in a UTF-8 locale, the filenames get corrupted.

Example:
  ó is stored in the file as \303\263 (raw UTF-8), but is extracted as \342\224\234\342\224\202

Workaround:
  using a Latin1 environemtn will make a verbatim copy of the octets:
    env LC_CTYPE=en_US unzip ...
  (obviously you first need to generate a Latin1 environment)

My Ubuntu version is 8.04.2
