it is. that is why it is odd. i haven't had issues before. this tar.gz was created slightly differently from the usual ones I submit, to ensure correct permissions.
in my project build script I have

tar --mode='644' --exclude="$PKGNAME/$PKGNAME.SlackBuild" -cf $PKGNAME.tar $PKGNAME
tar --mode='755' -rf $PKGNAME.tar "$PKGNAME/$PKGNAME.SlackBuild"
gzip -f $PKGNAME.tar

which ensures the permissions are correct, but the resultant tar.gz is ok.
with the elilong.tar.gz in /tmp/

cd /tmp/
tar -xvf elilong.tar.gz gives

tree elilong
elilong
├── README
├── doinst.sh
├── elilong.SlackBuild
├── elilong.info
└── slack-desc

The files needs to be inside a directory named by the name of the package, here :
