My guess is that the order readdir returns them implies which
file is stored as regular file and which is stored as hard link.
Usually the f_ file is stored as regular file and the l_ file
as hardlink. But on my filesystem the l_ file is stored as regular
file and the f_ file as hardlink.

What the testcase (at least in 2.4.17 which I looked yet at) does,
is to check there are f_ filenames up to length 100 and l_ and m_
filenames up to length 91. But the unpackad directory contains only
a l_ file of name length 92 but no f_ file:
$ ls ustar/original/?_*z*z*z*l
ustar/original/d_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijkl
ustar/original/l_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijkl
ustar/original/s_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijkl

I had yet only tested with 2.4.17. With 2.5.3b I get a different failure:
2: test_copy
tar/test/test_copy.c:99: Assertion failed
Condition: fd >= 0
Description: Couldn't open

Again the ustar archive only contains l_ and not f_ file:
$ tar -tf /tmp/bsdtar_test.2008-05-12T12.30.25-000/test_copy/ustar/archive |
grep '_[a-y]*z[a-y]*z[a-y]*z[a-k]*l\>'
original/s_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijkl
->
f_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijkl
original/l_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijkl
original/d_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijkl/
Hochachtungsvoll,
