Excluding all compression options was not an acceptable solution for me.
What has worked since I initially found this problem back in August was to install rsync from the utopic repository where the bug was fixed. That same version (3.1.1-3) is still available in vivid and wily unchanged as far as I can tell.

Example:
wget http:// mirrors. kernel. org/ubuntu/ pool/main/ r/rsync/ rsync_3. 1.1-3_amd64. deb 1.1-3_amd64. deb
sudo dpkg -i rsync_3.
Or for x86:
wget http:// mirrors. kernel. org/ubuntu/ pool/main/ r/rsync/ rsync_3. 1.1-3_i386. deb 1.1-3_i386. deb
sudo dpkg -i rsync_3.
Problem solved.
