I recall some e-mails about a CRC calculation problem with busybox gzip...don't remember exactly when, but a problem was identified, and the fix is likely in CVS, if not in the latest releases (check the change logs). IIRC, other than the warning, everything unpacks OK, so the error is at least somewhat benign.
