This is exactly the point of my question (and I figured it out too):
Where is this explained that «pg_wal.tar.gz file has to uncompressed in
pg_wal dir»?


indeed, I am not able to find or search relative reference in docs (i never used pg_basebackup for backups but mostly replica setup), 
so i never ran this procedure.
although, i see a reference in test lib file to help atleast confirm the source repo has a reference to it.

i can link the c source file, but that would not be your answer. 
somehow, this procedure is all over the internet, via blogs etc, but i do not know where it is in the docs.
 
Or, wouldn't it even be better that the files in
pg_wal.tar.gz would have the dir pg_wal in front?

 
I am not sure, I am the best person to answer this question.
