> I don't know enough about lzma compression streams to explain how this appears in the "compressed" version of the payload, but it does.

From what I've read, the payload isn't stored in the archive, but rather the test file itself is a sandwich of xz data and payload: There are 1024 bytes of xz archive, N bytes of payload, another 1024 of xz, etc.
