Is this still a problem with tar 1.15.1-2, currently in unstable?
No, upgrading to 1.15.1-2 fixes it.
I hope the following makes it easy for you to reproduce
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo aoeu
dd if=/dev/zero of=sparse seek=10 count=1 bs=1M
echo zaoeu
tar -cSf sparse.tar aoeu sparse zaoeu
tar -tvf sparse.tar aoeu
echo Error level: $?
tar -cf sparse.tar aoeu sparse zaoeu
tar -tvf sparse.tar aoeu
echo Error level: $?
