GHC 9.10.1-alpha1 .tar.gz download does not extract properly

After downloading https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/9.10.1-alpha1/ghc-9.10.0.20240313-x86_64-fedora33-linux.tar.gz, I attempted to extract it, only to be thwarted by this error:

$ tar -xvf ghc-9.10.0.20240313-x86_64-fedora33-linux.tar.gz 
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Curiously, this only affects the .tar.gz download, as the .tar.xz version extracts without issue. I haven't tried any other variants of GHC 9.10.1-alpha1.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
