This sounds related. Worth checking out:
"This report is for tar-1.29, compiled and installed on Mac El Capitan.
When the environment variable "LANG" is not set, tar cannot handle a
compressed archive--the error is 'broken pipe'."

I'm also considering 1.28. I've noted this change: "The -–null option
reads file names verbatim." My package manager using tar uses the
--null option.
Works for me:
$ tar --version | head -n1
tar (GNU tar) 1.29
$ unset LANG
$ ls -ld patch*

$ tar -xf patch-2.7.5.tar.xz
drwxrwxr-x 8 bdubbs bdubbs 4096 Mar 6 2015 patch-2.7.5
-rw-rw-r-- 1 bdubbs bdubbs 727704 Feb 25 14:29 patch-2.7.5.tar.xz
That's not in Chapter 5, but a full LFS-8.0 system, but that shouldn't
make any difference.
