With so little information I can only guess, but it sounds unlikely
that you would have enabled the x86 BCJ filter without knowing it
unless you used some wrapper script that does it. It's more likely that
the ARM kernel didn't support XZ at all, you forgot --check=crc32,
or it ran out of RAM due to too big LZMA2 dictionary (if you used -9,
the decompressor allocates 64 MiB of memory, but I cannot guess how
much RAM the target system had).
In Documentation/xz.txt under "Notes on compression options" there are
some tips about compressing files for the in-kernel XZ decompressor.
