I've done tests with gdb, and the problem occurs at
xmlParseDocument( ctxt->data.saxParserCtxt );
in src/backend/xml/sixtp.c line 709 (sixtp_parse_file_common).
It comes from a known bug in libxml2, discussed here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877567
It is fixed upstream. I could check with xmllint on the compressed
file that this is the same bug:
$ xmllint test.gnucash
test.gnucash:222630: parser error : expected '>'
</trn:d
^
test.gnucash:222630: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch:
date-posted line 222628 and d
</trn:d
^
test.gnucash:222630: parser error : Premature end of data in tag transaction
line 222621
</trn:d
^
test.gnucash:222630: parser error : Premature end of data in tag
template-transactions line 219417
</trn:d

test.gnucash:222630: parser error : Premature end of data in tag book line 33
</trn:d
^
test.gnucash:222630: parser error : Premature end of data in tag gnc-v2 line 2
</trn:d
^
No such problem with the uncompressed file. If I truncate the
uncompressed file at </trn:d line 222630 like above, I get the
same problem.
So, this is also a bug in GnuCash, as like xmllint, GnuCash should
have detected the error, but it doesn't:
