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'.
