Thanks very much. Setting preferred encoding to none indeed worked. I
have shared the gzipped web page here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByZAd4iRILGHdmdvSENzTmduTHM
It's only 49K but if you prefer tarball I can do that too. (Out of
interest is there a particualr reason for tarball?)
sha1sum is:

9cbd7465657fad1aef92153800eece40e2f3bf2b  L681-4152TMP.html.gz

Do let me know if there's anything else you need while investigating it.
Just to let you know I have tried gzip -d on other files and that seems
fine.

Thanks,
