Would you mind sending a PR on this issue with kientzle@freebsd.org
in Cc:? I believe Tim will be interested in it. I've just confirmed
myself using not-too-old CURRENT that bsdtar won't restore file
flags stored in its own archive:
vpc7# tar --version
bsdtar 1.02.023, libarchive 1.02.026

This is at variance with what the tar(1) manpage says:
-p (x mode only) Preserve file permissions. Attempt to restore the
full permissions, including owner, file modes, file flags and
ACLs, if available, for each item extracted from the archive...
I think it might be reasonable to include these details in the PR.
