If changing xz's options can't fix the problem, would you re-add a
second format?  Until coreutils-8.13 the tarball was distributed in two
formats.  I think adding a second format would fix the problem for
busybox and for pristine-tar because xz seems to be the only format
affected by these problems!

This would not fix the problem with other xz-embedded implementations.

I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank you for your answers.
