I dont believe this is anything to do with auto-updates. I checked one of my sites and there are zip files going back a long time (probably since I last cleaned up)

Well, it might be a coincidence that for me it happened only with the automated but not with the manual update.

I have observed that from time to time on local environments, but not on my domain environment before.

just remembered that on my site above those updates were done by panopticon which iirc also uses the api to do update. So maybe there is a step missing when updates are done with the api as opposed to com_joomlaupdate
