Multilevel webapp WAR won't start when packed

TC v6.0.10

I have a 'multi-level' path webapp that I'm deploying via a WAR.  The 
WAR is named "download#file.war".

If I permit the WAR to unpack, it will deploy.

If I instruct it to stay packed it will not deploy, throwing the 
exception below.  When I manually create the dir "download/file" the 
webapp will start from the packed WAR.

Bug, or expected behaviour, anyone?

I've fiddled with it and the app works when deployed using a none # 
path.  It's 20Mb so i can't really submit it for testing, but i'll try 
and build a simple webapp to see if it's a generic fault.

The download#file.xml gets created (correctly), in either case.
Now this is popping up when it tries to unpack the WAR...

(there's no paths or docbase set in the context.xml)

What, if anything, gets created in Tomcat's work/Catalina/[host]
directory?  Is there a download, download/file, or download#file?

Just to get more information, leave it packed but create a
dowload#file.xml file in conf/Catalina/[host] and let's see what
happens.
