Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the supplied pkg.tar.xz.zip archive and follow the stack trace through node_modules/yauzl/index.js and fd-slicer/index.js. Determine why the archive is rejected despite extracting in macOS Archive Utility; done means the reported archive is handled correctly or the incompatibility is clearly documented with a regression test.
