Hi Hilmar, I'm not sure if it's present any more, because I can't find a single .pdf.gz file in /usr/share/doc/texlive* - all of the pdf files are unzipped, so there is no need for texdoc to unzip them. I tried zipping it and it still works, though I'm using xdg-open rather than gnome-open (as I'm running under XFCE now rather than Gnome). So I guess closing this bug report is probably OK?
