Hello there,
Looks like the busybox tar from Alpine is indeed broken:

Besides improving the test error message (to show the real octal value),
there isn't much more to do it.
I don't think skipping the test on Alpine is a better option: after all,
the tar over there is indeed broken.
What do you think?
