The actual exception you're getting is IMHO a bug, it should have been a zipfile.BadZipfile exception.

That said, it might be useful to teach zipfile to optionally be a little more forgiving about errors like this when reading a zipfile. I'm at best -0 on that in general, in this case we could get away with restructuring the code a little: a number of ZipInfo attributes are set from "extra" data when the extra data is present and the value in the normal header max-ed out. The code could be changed to not even try to decode the "extra" data when the values in the normal header aren't max-ed out.

BTW. The RuntimeError that's raised in _decodeExtra should also be a BadZipfile exception.
