Lenard's suggestion seems to work great:
------------------------
import gzip
import pygame

class GzipImageFile(gzip.GzipFile):
  def seek(self, offset, whence=0):
      assert(whence == 0)
      gzip.GzipFile.seek(self, offset)

fid = GzipImageFile('test.bmp.gz','rb')
theimg = pygame.image.load(fid)
fid.close()

print theimg.get_size()
