That seems indeed to be the source of the problem, since the entry for ext:integer64 references b16 instead of b64.  Changing this in my copy of ecl (see attached patch) and recompiling seems to fix the problem reported as issue 3082527.

The only remaining problem with Deflate is now the optimization bug in bit-stream-read-bits (the first issue reported).
