This is probably because you've mounted / as textmode. I don't know if it
is a bug in info or in gunzip for not opening files in binary even when
they live in a textmode directory, but if you would use a binary mount,
your problem should go away.
Probably it is the same problem though I did not see that message as far
as I remember now. But I use text mode as default and I do not do any
extra mounts.
