Hmph, I am reasonably sure I saw a test that created an archive from
a commit (hence with pax header), asked platform tar to either list
the contents or actually extracted to the filesystem, and tried to
ensure nothing but the paths in the repository existed in the
archive.  When the platform tar implementation treated the pax
header as an extra file, such a test sees something not in the
repository and fails.

This was on (and I am still on) NetBSD 6.0 not 6.0.1, by the way.
