   If this is really the case, it needs to be fixed.

I've investigated this further, it was a bug in my local build
(independant of 'make release') environment (WORLD_FLAGS was not
propagated into that local build).  This resulted in my customized
boot floppies still containing the old gzip/no-bzip loader which
failed to load .bz2 files.

If we can fit a bzip+gzip loader on make release floppies, that
would be good because someone could use their old floppies with the
new loader. I.e. we should avoid LOADER_NO_GZIP_SUPPORT=YES for the
time being.
