 Looking at the CLI docs for "tar":

It talks about generating a name for the top-level directory, but not the
tar file. The implication being that the tar file name must be explicitly
supplied.

But, in any case, Mr robotanarchy seems to be requesting that the official
release tar file be created with, for example:

      fossil tarball version-1.31 fossil-src-1_31.tar.gz --name
 fossil-src-1_31

to make it easier to identify the released versions.
