This is not my fault. Try to run

     $ zip -d p.zip ./edit.html
     $ zip -d p.zip edit.html
     $ zip -d p.zip '*'/edit.html

and you will see that zip(1) itself is not able to delete the file.
(I am using Info-ZIP 2.3 (November 29th 1999).)

The workaround is to convert pathnames starting with "./" into pathnames 
that start with "[.]/". This way Info-ZIP does not strip the leading 
"./" components. That's nice, isn't it?
