Weird install issue with makepkg

First, I've had an issue with the osu-lazer package - it would refuse to run and on first glance it looked like an issue with FUSE.
However, it was installed correctly and modprobe didn't do anything. Running it from the terminal, it said something like this:

This doesn't look like a squashfs image.

I downloaded the AppImage from the same URL as specified in the PKGBUILD file and replaced it manually. That worked fine.
I moved on without thinking too much about it, but now I have the same issue but with jetbrains-toolbox. I decided to dig deeper.

$ du -h pkg/jetbrains-toolbox/opt/jetbrains-toolbox/jetbrains-toolbox
184K    pkg/jetbrains-toolbox/opt/jetbrains-toolbox/jetbrains-toolbox
$ du -h src/jetbrains-toolbox-2.2.3.20090/jetbrains-toolbox 
70M     src/jetbrains-toolbox-2.2.3.20090/jetbrains-toolbox

Apparently, the binary in the package was for some reason only 184K in size, when it was supposed to be 70 MB.
Running the install command responsible (copied from PKGBUILD) manually works fine:

$ install -Dm755 src/jetbrains-toolbox-2.2.3.20090/jetbrains-toolbox pkg/jetbrains-toolbox/opt/jetbrains-toolbox/jetbrains-toolbox
$ du -h pkg/jetbrains-toolbox/opt/jetbrains-toolbox/jetbrains-toolbox
70M     pkg/jetbrains-toolbox/opt/jetbrains-toolbox/jetbrains-toolbox

What is happening? This happens every time I run makepkg!

Yeah, probably. Seems like AppImage executables also don't use ELF sections.
