I agree it is a bug. I'm not sure how to fix it at this point.

One possibility would be to check the path for bzrlib.plugins.__path__,
and if it is in a zip file, do the extra work to read the zip file, and
see what files are inside.

So you can certainly file it as a bug, though the resolution of it is a
little unclear to me.
