I believe the cause is the archive structure. The archive probably has the correct structure but the tool that created it didn't add an entry for the root directory. As a result we fail to detect the root directory of the archive and we fail to mark it as an add-on (thus resulting in a partially successful install): the framework works but is not marked as an add-on.
What tool did you use to create the archive? We will also make some changes on our part to handle this particular type of archive. Until then you could use another zip tool (for example 7-zip) to create the archive? Could you please confirm that once you pack the plugin using 7-zip the installing is indeed successful?
For the record, it was the archive structure. The Zip archives created with Cygwin's 'zip' and with Windows Explorer didn't work, a '7-zip'-created archive of the same Ant framework provided by Oxygen Support worked, and now an Ant-created Zip archive of the original framework files is working for me.
