Likely gzip has a fixed size binary field for the timestamp, which some 
timestamp value from afio's data is exceeding.

Can you use gzip's -n option?

     -n, -‐no‐name     This option stops the filename and timestamp from
                       being stored in the output file.

That might mangle dates on restore, depending on how afio does that.
