The option -ignoreblocks is parsed as `-i -g noreblocks',
i.e. `--ignore-zeros --listed-incremental=noreblocks'. The only
meaningful part is --ignore-zeros, the --listed-incremental option does
not produce any diagnostics because (1) its argument is not used when
extracting archives and (2) it is a no-op for none-incremental archives.
In two words, the above command can more properly be written as
cat *tar.gz | tar xz --ignore-zeros --files-from f
