I looked at archive-set-buffer-as-visiting-file, and it seems it could
be simplified based on the assumption that the backend inserts output
in the binary coding.  I tried and this fixes the problem:

diff --git a/lisp/vc/vc.el b/lisp/vc/vc.el
index 5ff9f4d5be..c980369fa9 100644
--- a/lisp/vc/vc.el
