and then add glibc dependency to gzip package :P (kidding)

Because locale-gen needs gzip to generate locales.

Do you want circular dependency???

[roman@home ~]$ pacman -Qi gzip | grep Depends
Depends On : glibc bash

Now what pacman should do if we add gzip as glibc dependency?

Also, locale-gen is not _required_ to run glibc, at least with English language.
Besides, gzip is part of base, so if user decides to not install it - he must know what he is doing. ;-)
