This bug is not platform specific.
I've attached a reproduction:
$ python
>>> import tarfile
>>> tarfile.open("test.tar", "r").next().isdir()
True
$ tar -tvf test.tar
-rw-rw-r-- 0/0 0 1969-12-31 16:00

$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.27.1
For some background, this bug was original filed against the Go standard
library (for which I am the maintainer of the Go implementation of tar). When I
investigated the issue, I discovered that Go was doing the right thing, and
that the discrepancy was due to the check I pointed to earlier. The GNU tool
indicates that this is a regular file as well.
