I agree that this is bad. And I even have a branch around which works on changing that.
However, Pack repositories won't be able to "zcat" anyway. Because the pack format itself has some meta-information inbetween the gzip chunks.
I went ahead and registered the branch, and associated it with this bug.
The mailing list thread is:
[RFC] Store all important data in KnitData.
