Please refer this scenario ,where backup target using 
--server-compression is closing the server
unexpectedly if we don't provide -no-manifest option

[tushar@localhost bin]$ ./pg_basebackup --server-compression=gzip4  -t 
server:/tmp/data_1  -Xnone
NOTICE:  WAL archiving is not enabled; you must ensure that all required 
WAL segments are copied through other means to complete the backup
pg_basebackup: error: could not read COPY data: server closed the 
connection unexpectedly
     This probably means the server terminated abnormally
     before or while processing the request.

if we try to check with -Ft then this same scenario  is working ?

[tushar@localhost bin]$ ./pg_basebackup --server-compression=gzip4  -Ft 
-D data_0 -Xnone
