I don't use Vundle, but I do install some plugins into their own
directories and I modify 'rtp' accordingly. To insure that plugins
go where I want them, I set g:vimball_home in my ~/.vimrc before I
start mucking with 'rtp'.

let g:vimball_home = matchstr(&rtp, '^[^,]*')

Netrw is one of the plugins that I keep in its own directory, so to
make sure Vimball puts netrw in the right place, my ~/.vimrc also
includes the following.

au BufEnter netrw.vba,netrw.vba.gz,netrw.vba.bz2,netrw.vba.zip,netrw.vba.xz let g:vimball_home = $HOME."/.vim/netrw"
au BufEnter netrw.vmb,netrw.vmb.gz,netrw.vmb.bz2,netrw.vmb.zip,netrw.vmb.xz let g:vimball_home = $HOME."/.vim/netrw"

Those solutions assume that I install a vimballed plugin by
executing "vim someplugin.vmb" and do not install any other vimballs
in that same Vim session.

It shouldn't apply to you unless you had a private copy of netrw
dating from Vim 7.0.
