I've done some more digging and am still rather confused. I'm fairly sure
that the patch cache can have compressed files, and it seems that
inventories might be compressed too. What about pristine?

One thought which occurred to me is that having files in pristine
which are compressed by darcs could be unfortunate if the user
happens to store files which are gzipped for whatever reason.
This doesn't tell us what darcs actually does, but maybe having
a clue on how darcs *should* (?) behave, not having compressed
pristine files, may help?

Yeah, agreed. It would be even worse if the user had some reason for storing gzipped files with corrupted CRCs that we then went on to "fix"...
