I just looked into this, and no - that algorithm name string is correct
as-is, and adding AES in there would be wrong. We're able to
distinguish correct vs. wrong passwords without ever using AES in there.

OK.

We'd need to reproduce the problem for that. It would be great if you
manage to generate another encrypted WinZip archive, with dummy content
and a known password, yet trigger the same behavior from zip2john. This
will serve two purposes: (1) you'll know whether or not the password is
crackable with our current code despite of this error, and (2) we'll be
able to look into the issue on our end (assuming that you'll share that
archive with us).

It wouldn't help as much as generating a suitable dummy archive would,
but it might provide us with some extra clue.

OK.
