Sure enough, looks like Mozilla *was* trying to be helpful.

It turns out if you hold down <shift> while clicking on the link (to 
prevent trying to view a file in the browser instead of downloading) 
then the file gets automatically uncompressed. If you click the link 
without <shift>ing, the compressed file comes down as is.

Sorry for crying wolf!
