Okay, while you are right that GNU tar somehow does not list it correctly,
it has no problems extracting it:
[askwar@teich testz]$ tar tfv gtarfail.tar

The images display just fine. Tested with GQview, qiv, ee, eog and
ImageMagick.
Because of that, I'd be REALLY interested in the md5's of the original files
to see if the files where somehow damaged by the extraction.
Those are the ones I got:
[askwar@teich testz]$ md5sum *

Okay, I've now installed your star 1.3a8. Those are the md5sums of the
files extracted with star:
[askwar@teich star]$ md5sum *

As you can see, the files are identical, although tar was not able to list
them.
Further, I tried your mk and mk2 scripts with tar and star. You are right,
star is able to process file names which are not POSIX conformant while tar
fails on those files.
Conclusion (for me): Nothing bad at all. While GNU tar has problems with
very long file names and also fails to list a POSIX correct tar archive,
it's nothing I'd worry about. As long as files are extracted correctly, I'm
fine.
