I noticed the same thing, and tried the mentioned change, but to no 
avail.

The output is sequentially: -xzf; -xjf; and -xf. The last option is just 
to make sure it was not an uncompressed tar-file.

Strange, because I am hoping this would resolve the installation of 
Lilypond om my mandriva system, which aborts when I try to create the 
fonts from the tar-ball of Lilypond  2.7.27. I also tried the shortcut 
mentioned in the install-procedure to retrieve the fonts with 
>> make -C mf get-pfa <<
but that gave the following message:

>> Start screendump install fonts <<

Maybe someone has other ideas to get me up and running??
