That's what I was trying to tell you and I consider that a bug.

Why should I?  People have been recusively compressing their lisp
folders for years.  It's supposed to work and it does, why do you need
to break it?

It is not at all illegal to do this, so we shouldn't be putting out code
that actively prevents this option.  That Emacs currently doesn't do
this has different reasons and looking at the code Emacs uses makes it
abundantly clear that they've gone to great lengths to enable this for
all files.  Currently it usually is faster to read non-compressed files
from disk if they aren't larger than a single allocation unit of the
underlying file system (which is why the files Emacs uses most often,
that is .elc files and autoloads are kept uncompressed), but there are
situations were there is a clear advantage of using compression and
there are also situations where compressing _all_ files is the only
thing left to do.
