Nothing comes to mind.  It looks like a bug in IO::Zlib or perl on
your platform.

Anyone else on FreeBSD having simliar problems?

Ok, generated the tar.gz file and the tar.gz.asc file.

Ok, gpg read both of the files and says it's all good.

We call IO::Zlib:

  $tfh = IO::Zlib->new($content_file, "rb");

(where $content_file is the tar.gz from above) then IO::Zlib blows up
in AUTOLOAD (line 566).  That module is doing more perl OO/glob voodoo
than I understand so I can't comment further.

My guess is if you made a small gzip file and did something like:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use IO::Zlib;
$tfh = IO::Zlib->new("file.gz", "rb");

you'll see the same issue.  If so, I'd report it via
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Report.html?Queue=IO-Zlib
