Heh, well, they should. You need to flush the dcache & invalidate the icache over the kernel image after decompressing it. It's just that those routines are totally broken as far as I can see, but I don't think the pmac bootloaders will use them, they probably use a different implementation that works.
Note that whatever machines are using those routines will probably have trouble too anyway
