Oops, sorry; the issue exists with both GNU tar 1.14 and 1.5.91.
OK, thank you. You wrote:
Unfortunately, it seems Solaris tar bails out at the first path longer

I do not see any error diagnostics here. Did it display some?
No errors; it just terminated. I guess it interprets a block starting with a
NUL as the EOF block.
Checking the tar source in the OpenSolaris cvs indicate that the above
hypothesis is true
(http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/cmd/tar/tar.c line 1297).
