The license came through fine; when I again clicked "Upload file" in the left margin, and uploaded yet another batch, there were no problems with the license.
Elevating importance and severity.
Seems to be isolated to *only* cc-zero when combined with own-work, which in the current default config is "own-pd". The config is an edge-case, it's the only self license whose templates are specified as not the same as the original name. Not sure why this is so. Is definitely not related to any misconfig on Commons since I can reproduce it on a wiki without any templates configured.
fixed in r97593. In the case of cc-zero, we used a feature where the template name(s) can be different from the string describing them. But I forgot to obtain a copy of the config, and instead was pointing to the real config. So when "self" was prepended, that changed the config too. It was only noticeable if you picked cc-zero and used the Upload more files button. Fixed by obtaining a copy of the config to modify, rather than pointing to the original.
