I think it's a limitation of gzip. We might be able to work around it, but maybe not worth it to accommodate such a rare case. I would recommend instead doing a custom pack of the app, excluding whatever is taking up so much space (presumably either a large SQLite file or lots of uploads). Then use alternative means of copying/moving the files excluded from the .w2p package.
