There are many possible reasons:
1) A well known bug in GNU tar (self incompatibility to
GNU tar archives).
I recommend you to use star to check the archive for correctness.
2) You did not use a recent original mkisofs to create the image
3) There is a bug in your Linux kernel.
You would first need to check with a tar implementation that is kown
to work (star).
