I just stumbled upon this while checking a few mailing lists.
I haven't found any mails about in in the archives yet, so I assume, that
no mail have been written yet.

The problem is described here:

Thanks.  It sounds a bit more than "slight inconvenience" to me ;-)

Indeed, but two mitigating factors, if you will, are that this only affects files whose path or link target contain non-ASCII characters, and -- as Rafał wrote -- that GNU tar silently accepts signed checksums as well, which makes it a bit difficult to test.
