There already has been a discussion about that (starting here:

Looks like we didn't fix it correctly.

Hmm, but after that report til now no new release were published
and the reported bugs were related to the current 1.19.2 release?

Currently, to disable gzip compression at all: add
 compression = none
to ~/.wgetrc and/or /etc/wgetrc.

We'll fix it the next days and make up a new release then.

Interestingly, the change was introduced on 25th of July - and there was
no complaint until 1st of November. I guess we have a very limited base
of testers :-(

That may true or not but the first bug report came after the 1.19.2 release date on 26th of October and took also 6 days. Ok, new releases spread slowly but probably web sites that delivers HTTP headers that forces the described wget bug seem also rare.

Maybe depends on version of wget? I probably used wget-1.18 (the version
in debian stable; I don't have access to the same system at the moment

Looks like the odd behavior is for 19.2 only; 19.1 behaves "normally":
