I have been working in the same problem for 2 hours now, trying to rebuild and recompile PHAR files in all possible ways hoping one would work. Luckily I noticed that my FTP tool had started transfering PHP files as ASCHII - this was the prblem as the PHAR files needs to be BINARY. Make sure you are handling the files BINARY and not ASCII, hope it helps.

It seems that your download of the phpunit.phar was not complete in the first place. Try to download it again from the source and make sure the size of the file is as expected. It worked for me.
