I haven't been able to reproduce this on a trusty amd64 3.13.0-187 system, while it failed on a trusty i386 3.13.0-188 system. It also failed on a bionic i386 4.15.0-162 VM.

When running it with dash, it does give I/O Error, but while doing strace with it, it returns ENOMEM and bash does give out the appropriate error message.

echo: write error: Cannot allocate memory

So this looks more like a limitation of zram on 32 bit systems.
