We have a version difference here that may or may not be significant for
the issue.

Not sure. Perhaps you produced a zip file with some 7z-specific
property/properties. I can't really help you a lot but the first thing I
would do is try to find a newer version of 7za (or some other options to
it) that produces the same version number "ver 81.9". Then if you can
reproduce the problem with a sample zip file, we can look into it.
Good luck!
