Yes, that's the intended and documented behavior. The GZIP environment 
variable can make it hard to write portable scripts, as they have to 
unset GZIP to be safe. The intent is that gzip remove support for that 
variable in a future release.

You can work around the problem by using this shell command instead:

   tar -I'gzip -1' -cf saved.config.tar.gz saved.config
