Thanks for reporting that. I think this is actually a bug in Autoconf, not tar. It is fixed in Autoconf 2.61a <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.61a.tar.gz>, which uses "printf '%s\n'" rather than 'echo' to handle troublesome strings like that You should be able to apply the fix by installing Autoconf 2.61a, touching tar's configure.ac, and then running 'make'. (Admittedly this is not always easy for the typical installer to do.)
