That's a very good observation and an important clue.  The file header in
any tar file is limited to 100 characters, and there is a special extension
(basically another dummy file header with a payload containing the real
long path) to allow longer paths.  The same mechanism is used for long soft
link targets.

So either this a very old version of tar, as you suggest, or the extension
header isn't being recognized properly.
