Reason is:

$ gzip -c -d >/dev/null civgame-2617m.sav.gz 

gzip: civgame-2617m.sav.gz: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored

Lets take a look at the garbage:
$ tail civgame-2617m.sav.gz 
...
!.~,_þê\ï1Ýe2: Now accepting new client connections.
^[[?1;2c2: Connection request from phillip from menace
2: phillip has client version 1.12.0
2: phillip has joined as player phillip.
2: Loading rulesets
2: Now accepting new client connections.
$

So somehow we some ascii text got appended to the gzip stream. There
is a real error and one which may exists.

1) the server should read such a savegame without the error above

2) it is unclear what causes the "garbage" at the end of this
file. This may be another error.
