Found my first problem. The file was munged during download.
If I use wget - which does what I tell it, and not what it thinks I really want -
Code:
wget http://www.borders.com.au/uploads/bordersau-full-1_4.tgz
--2010-08-18 08:24:30--

... so all my babble about files compressed twice was just some artifact of the original download using firefox. Somehow the download had added the second layer of compression.
Now I can do a "tar -pzxvf /path/bordersau-full-1_4.tgz" and get a directory tree structure on the SD card.
The firmware upgrade then proceeded as advertised and all seems well.
