oh... I would need to go for some archaeological expedition to figure
out exactly why, cannot do ATM.

FWIW -- anyways - this is just a demo dataset.  If you really want to
get/analyze haxby2001 -- it is available from openfmri/openneuro in full
"original" shape as ds000105

If you have datalad, you can

datalad install ///openfmri/ds000105 

and then

cd ds000105
git checkout 1.0.0

to get old "openfmri" (not BIDS) layout for the dataset.  Unfortunately
we didn't come up with a convenience layer for BIDS datasets yet within
PyMVPA.
