[SOLVED]Silent breakage in package when building last vim with abs/pxz

Building the last version only of vim with abs and pxz (in makepkg.conf) results in silent breakage, i.e. a broken tar.

It works with pxz and nethogs, or with xz and vim. Fully updated system, stock kernel.

Where is the bug? Can anyone reproduce it? Advice?

# grep xz /etc/makepkg.conf
COMPRESSXZ=(pxz -c -z -)
PKGEXT='.pkg.tar.xz'

# pxz -V                                                                                                                                          
Parallel PXZ 4.999.9beta (build 20130406)
xz (XZ Utils) 5.0.4
liblzma 5.0.4

# cd ~/tmp
# ABSROOT=. abs extra/vim
# cd extra/vim
# makepkg -sf

using the lastest pxz source to build seems to be working fine. https://github.com/jnovy/pxz
