I have a memory that Eclipse platform used to pack -> unpack to normalize jars before distribution.

Right, it does run the normalize step first. However, there is still something in Platform that cause jars to be unequal although they're equivalent, or even to make them as not equivalent although they are. I'm currently accusing pack200 as the usual suspect, but it could be something else.

If you want to join the fun of this investigation, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=525601 is a good entry point.
