I cannot reproduce this.
My best guess is that you have an outdated version of FreeBSD's
rsync package installed. Version 3.1.1 of the package broke the
backwards compatibility for -z. This was fixed in 3.1.1_1.
(If you build it from the port, make sure that the ZLIB_BASE option
is off.)

That doesn't fit with the above. *shrug*
