Two files differ between the jar installer and zip distro - this is a regression:

file:
jboss-as/server/xxx/deploy/management/console-mgr.sar/web-console.war/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml

affects:
4.2CP08 and 4.3CP07

in zip:
<security-domain>java:/jaas/web-console</security-domain>

in jar:
<security-domain>java:/jaas/jmx-console</security-domain>

===============================
file:
jboss-as/server/xxx/conf/login-config.xml

affects:
4.3CP07

the jar installer ships the login-config.xml file from 4.2 instead of 4.3
