Okay I sent the email with a tar.gz with both the directory version and the .ear packaged version.
I tried to name the deployment MyTestEar as well and had the same exact result as MyTestEar.ear and MyTestEar_ear (using the deployer from the web console).
Incidentally, when using the autodeploy feature only the .ear directory name results in this same error (the WsGen error). If I autodeploy using MyTestEar_ear or just MyTestEar then I get the following ClassNotFound issues (but I guess this is for another day :-):
