This is the normal (yet unexplained AFAIK) behavior of many compression

Same thing happens with bzip2:
user@host:/media/DISK$ bzip2 --keep FILE
bzip2: Input file FILE has 1 other link.
I haven't tried gzip since it doesn't have a --keep option, and I don't
want my file deleted.
lzop works as expected.
** Also affects: bzip2 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Also happens for files created on a Windows 7 computer. In my case the
drive was converted from FAT using `convert` on Windows.
