> It's possible that you have been bit by the dreaded GNUtar bug

It's not a bug.  Or it's not a bug in GNU tar.  Back in ancient
times some(?) UNIXen only allowed filenames to be a total of 14
characters.  The original tar has no provisions for names longer
than that.  GNU tar allows long names.  Old versions of tar choke
on that as input.
