Apparently that is using Archive::Tar by way of Archive::Extract (says
bingos.)
So, something needs to set $Archive::Tar::CHMOD = 1; to make it behave
like gnu tar.
Of course, when running as root, cpanplus would have to set TAR_OPTIONS
whenever prefer_bin is set in your config.
For a workaround, (if you have gnu tar) apparently prefer_bin = 1 in
your cpanplus config would do it.
