Nasty feature of qemu, not a Grml problem.

This did not happen with grml32-small_2013.09.iso but might be a kernel/qemu bug as well.
Reproducible using libvirt, could not reproduce on real hardware or in virtualbox. So I suspect some oddities in qemu's handling of virtualized memory that collide with some assumptions of the xz compressor. Investigating into that is a fascinating challenge but I don't expect to have time for that before the weekend.
Mention this issue in the release notes?
Could somebody check using xen?
