So on MSYS platforms the command-line tools

I suspect this is a trivial issue since the xz-related command-line
tools all work on MSYS, but as always the difficult thing to do with
CMake is to find where the issue is occurring. I starting looking in
Utilities/cmlibarchive/libarchive, but any additional guidance would
be appreciated.
CMake's build of libarchive does not enable built-in lzma support.
Libarchive responds by trying to run a command-line tool to handle
the data, probably "xz" in this case. Something about the MSYS
xz trying to run from inside a CMake process environment may cause
the problem.
The first priority is to verify on Microsoft Windows that this is
actually an issue using the the simple test I outlined in my previous
post. But Wine has been pretty reliable for me so assuming that
verification is done, I think you have given a likely explanation of
the issue. I would be happy to try and verify that is the issue
within CMake but I am having some trouble deciphering what is going on
in Utilities/cmlibarchive.
