Initrd decompression takes unintuitive amounts of memory. And, in practice, exactly the second error message was seen with the aarch64 target, until Rich Jones raised the guest RAM size that libguestfs passed to QEMU. You can try it for yourself: stick with the small (14MB) initrd, and, say, quadruple the guest RAM size. I'm pretty sure it will succeed.
can't give the quest more then 4.2GB ram - my host does not have more available - but small(~14MB) initrd.cpio + 4GB ram still gives "Initramfsunpacking failed: junk in compressed archive" and there is just *one* 14MB init-binary file in the cpio - nothing more, no compression
