Does it depend on the location of the member in the archive (at the
beginning/middle/end)?
Yes, there is a difference. Deleting the first archive member (a
directory, if it matters), results in an file full of 10240 nulls, which
corresponds to the default --blocking-factor.
Deleting then appending from the middle causes the previously reported
junk blocks to be written; it seems repeatable that the final file is
the source of these blocks.
End is the same as middle.
