We haven't heard of that issue from any users yet and v5.1.1 is used on a lot of sites already.
Can you let me know what version of Joomla 2.5 you are using? Also, if you can, unzip the file you downloaded and make sure there is an admin, component, install, media, and translations directory along with a jfbconnect.xml file. If so, that's definitely correct and that zip file should install.
Thanks,
Alex
