Can you run

    md5sum .bzr/repository/packs/*

on the server?  The filenames and md5sums should match, e.g.:

$ md5sum .bzr/repository/packs/*
9fd5364a303eca3abf5f57b75e00fead .bzr/repository/packs/9fd5364a303eca3abf5f57b75e00fead.pack

These files are written to a temporary location, and then when the file is
finished the md5sum is calculated, and the file is renamed to that
md5sum.  The file is never changed by bzr after that process.  So if
they don't match, then there's almost certainly some sort of corruption
not due to bzr.

If they do match, then bzr is apparently causing invalid gzip data to be
generated.  I don't know how that could happen, but if it does we'll
certainly try to figure it out!
