Lars Gustäbel <l...@gustaebel.de> added the comment:

Anatoly is right, the gzip file format specification (RFC 1952) says
that the FNAME header field must be the basename of the original
filename. So, this behaviour is not tarfile's fault but that of the gzip
module and should be fixed there.
7zip can still decompress these files, right?
