Comment (by karsten):

 Replying to [comment:1 wfn]:
 > Could it be that the way tor terminates that zlib stream (add 'empty
 compressed data' to the zlib stream) is not a proper way to close a zlib
 archive? (So for example this could mean that tor does indeed assume that
 it's okay to send 'partial content' (in the sense of unclosed-zlib-
 archive, zlib-as-stream, not in the sense of fail-to-send-some-data)?)

 I didn't look very closely, but it seems that tor doesn't simply add empty
 compressed data, but that it also sets done to 1.
