It looks like the issue has been handled by upstream in this commit:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-10/msg00031.html
which was then included in tar release 1.27.1, available in
wheezy-backports and jessie
I tried to reproduce the problem using the test case from the Redhat bug
report, but could not reproduce the bug.
Does the 1.27.1 package fix the problem on your side ?
