as I understand it jars without interim directory entries are strictly not
valid according
to the official zip spec - however, most jar handling routines are typically
lenient and
will fill in missing directories where necessary

in this case Felix could detect that there are entries named
"WEB-INF/...etc.." and add
WEB-INF to the entries at the root - I suspect this is what Equinox and
Knopflerfish do

I think this will be a good thing to do in Felix as well. I have filed 
an enhancement type bug:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1210
