One possibility? The .upgrade file gets a gzip'd copy of hda5 to keep the size down, whereas when I manually "pump" it on Linux I am using gunzip to decompress it rather than whatever the empeg uses.

Possible bug in the unzip library used by "pump"? Or perhaps an incompatibility with the gzip I'm using to compress it in the first place?

But then it should also fail on any drive, not just this one. I really have to find another PATA drive here.. turfed most of them last year.

Factory builder image also fails. So probably not that.
