Ok, I live inside some kind of reality distorsion field:

C:\exp\z>jar tf z.zip
Lib/
Lib/a.py
Lib/a$py.class

C:\exp\z>\usr\jython-2.1\jython -Dpython.path="z.zip/Lib"
Jython 2.1 on java1.3.0 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import a
a
>>> C:\exp\z>\usr\jython-2.1\jython -Dpython.path="z.zip!Lib"
Jython 2.1 on java1.3.0 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import a
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: no module named a
