The patch has been submitted upstream now:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gzip.git/commit/?id=dc6196e2a041c022f8382b7e610b095718acccfa
@Thomas Bushnell: Do you want to prepare a patch/merge request based on
this commit (and the next one, which tests the behaviour)? Otherwise I
can do it.
**
Given the easy workaround and the lack of urgency, I'd be happy for this
to just get rolled out in the ordinary course of events.

see, they are not using a bug tracker but a mailing list:
