The the other day I ran into the question GZipStream doesn't detect corrupt data (even CRC32 passes)? (Of which this might very well be a "duplicate", I have mixed feelings on the subject. I was also the one who added the CRC32 to the title, but in retrospect that feels out of place with the remainder of the post). After exploring the problem a bit on my own, I think that the issue is far greater than the other question initially portrays.
I expanded upon the other question and made the test code runnable under LINQPad and attempt to better showcase the CRC32 (Cyclic Redundancy Check) issue, if it does indeed exist. (Since the code is only a slight modification based upon the original it is possible that the test setup/methodology is flawed or there is another strange quirk/PEBCAK both.)
The results are odd because the corrupt data is not always causing an (any!) Exception to be raised. Note that only sometimes does the CRC32 check seem to actually be "working". The corrupt bytes that cause the index-out-of-range/bad header/bad footer can be ignored because we can assume these are killing the decompression prior to the CRC32 check (which is perfectly understandable, even if the IndexOutOfRangeException should likely be wrapped by a InvalidDataException) so,
Why is the CRC32 check significantly less reliable than it ought to be? (Why is it the case that there is "Invalid data (No Exception)" below?)
Since the GZip footer contains both the CRC32 and length of the uncompressed data is seems that the error detection rate should be "significantly higher" -- that is, I would not expect a single failing case below, much less a number of undetected corrupted streams. (Of course it's nice to detect a corrupt steam ASAP: but the final safe-guard checksum seems to be downright ignored in cases.)

Here is the compressed data in .NET 3.5 (GZipStream is notoriously bad at "compressing" small payloads but it is a "Won't Fix" issue because the stream is still technically valid):

Additional notes:
The test may be subtly flawed in this case. When the GZipStream "fails to detect corruption" (no Exception) then the data read from the StreamReader is "" (an empty string): In that case, why does ReadToEnd()
not raise an Exception (IOException or otherwise)?
Is it thus not GZipStream but rather the StreamReader that is "quirky" here or is this still an issue with the GZipStream (for not throwing an Exception)? Is there some correct way to handle this use-case reliably? (Consider when the input stream from the current position really is empty.)
Preface
.NET [4 and previous] users should not use the Microsoft-provided GZipStream or DeflateStream classes under any circumstances, unless Microsoft replaces them completely with something that works. Use the DotNetZip library instead.
Update to Preface
The .NET Framework 4.5 and later have fixed the compression problem, and GZipStream and DeflateStream use zlib in those versions. I do not know if the CRC problem referenced below has been fixed.
Another Update
The CRC bug is not only not fixed, but Microsoft has decided that they won't fix it!
My response in Why does my C# gzip produce a larger file than Fiddler or PHP? shows that this behavior does not reflect a proper implementation of gzip corruption detection. In all of the cases tested, the error would be detected by a proper implementation. (That response also notes why seven of the cases result in good data.)
Another question is: how does this "compression" method produce 174 bytes of output from a 94-byte string? Especially seeing as how the string is compressible -- gzip reduces it to 84-bytes, even with the overhead of an 18-byte header and trailer. Can you provide a hex dump of that 174 bytes?
