    Which encoding and options to zip are you guys using when preparing,
    say install-tl.zip?

We don't do anything special to munge the encodings.  Just zip -rq.
No one has ever complained.  The script is
Master/tlpkg/bin/tl-make-install-pkg.

However, zip does have the -l option to force LF to CRLF, or -ll to
force CRLF to LF.  Maybe that would help you.  unzip also has options to
deal with line endings (and, as far as I know, this is one reason why
CTAN prefers .zip uploads).

Good luck,
k
