This is not a bug, this is deliberate; it’s common to all utilities that
use a gzip(1)-like interface.

You can redirect the output to a file: xz -c 1 >2

You can also force the binary data to show up on yout tty: xz -c 1 | cat

Do not complain about what you get then, though ;-)
This check is there for a reason.

** Changed in: xz-utils (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
