Yes i agree with this, it looks like inflate_block() is reading one
extra char somewhere which results in a short read on the crc/length
block, only 7 of 8 bytes are being read, a manual check of the values
starting 1 byte earlier agrees with what busybox reports the crc and
length should be based on data processed.

Strangely, the file still extracts with the correct size and md5sum, i
guess somewhere in the compressed data there is must be some filler to
round the data to a nice size.
