OK, so there seems to be a bug in TAR that gives spurious error messages. Is
there anything I can *DO* about it aside from performing a manual inspection
of the log file (or a complex script) before I release the verify job?

That's an annoying tar "bug".

If dirvish is using --checksum (-c) flag it might since it has to read the
file but by default I don't think it does (only checks by file modification
and size). If you just do a stat on a file the access, modify, and change
dates don't change in linux.
