The bug is that duplicity wasn't compressing at all despite the --no-compression option, so the files are compressed despite not having the .gz extension.
Renaming .sigtar to sigtar.gz and all .difftar to .difftar.gz fixes the damn problem.
$ for i in *.difftar;do mv -v $i $i.gz;done
$ for i in *.sigtar;do mv -v $i $i.gz;done
