Thanks for the report.  This is fixed upstream by commit 18c10c3 (Make "xz
--decompress --stdout --force" copy unrecognized files as is to standard
output., 2009-07-04).

If you’d like to try a newer version before it is uploaded to Debian, see
the packages for testing at <http://collab-maint.alioth.debian.org/xz-utils>
or the source repository <http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/xz.git>.

Regards,
Jonathan
