[netcdfgroup] reading gziped vlen dataset

Hi all,
I am using netcdf within the BioFormats project [1]. I am trying to read a dataset (generated with HDF5) with properties: 

No. of Dimensions: 1
Dimensions Size: 663
Max dimension size: Unlimited
Data Type: String, length = variable
Chunking: 55
Compression: GZIP: level 4, Storage level allocation time: Incremental
When I want to read the data I get following error. If the same dataset is not GZIP compressed, it works... 

java.lang.IllegalStateException

Is reading of VLen data + Compression possible with NetCDF?

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
Christoph
