Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Actually all offsets are relative to some point, just this point not always at 
the start of the file. If concatenate the ZIP file to other file, the unzip 
utility and the zipfile module are able to infer the starting point and correct 
offsets. Thus there is no matter what is the starting point of offsets. But 
Go's standard archive/zip package works only if offsets are relative to the 
start of the file. I don't know how common such interpretation however.
