Dear ostree users out there (on Fedora, RHEL, Bluefin, Aurora, Bazzite, ...),

has anyone of you ever seen an error regarding "invalid gzip headers" during a "rpm-ostree upgrade"?

[...]
[2/98] Fetching ostree chunk 53a115d85164231992f (46,2 MB)... done
error: Importing: Unencapsulating base: Layer sha256:53a115d85164231992fb38d82f836a36e9be489b15cfa415559419d164a7b6c0: Importing objects: invalid gzip header

I am building my own images to have the /nix directory available. Worked like a charm but suddenly stopped working for my Fedora43 image due to this error. The Aurora-with-nix image is fine, though.

Funnily enough, as my image only adds the nix directory, I only have one "custom" layer, everything else is from the upstream image. So I am puzzled on why this fails, why it fails for me and not for anybody/everybody else and why I do not find any issues related to "invalid gzip header" errors...
