I don't think the Architect ever alluded to Zion just being a part of a program. Rather, he implied that Zion and it's inhabitants were real, just that they were being manipulated to weed out 'The One' so he can make the Matrix stronger. Thus, although the Zionists were 'real', they were still controlled by machines. And the council guy's conversation with Neo foreshadowed that. You're right in that the idea of Zion being a matrix within a matrix makes little sense. Why would they let Neo fall in love with Trinity then?
I'm still confused as to what the Oracle's role is. Is she working for or against the machines?
