A work-around on the consumer side should be to update the available PowerShell version.
On the GitHub hosted runners 7.2.7 / 7.2.8 is available and there extracting archives that do not end in .zip works without a problem.
I guess the PowerShell available on that self-hosted runner is 5.1 or similar and there probably this restriction still exists.
