I haven't checked the decompressor but I don't see why it wouldn't work in hyp mode. I can try it easily enough.
I tried booting linux in non-secure hyp mode [1] and it seemed to work just fine. The kernel decompressed and booted up to trying to mount its root fs, just like it does if you start it in secure kernel mode.
