Now I'm confused.  Why were you surprised by this?

According to some notes I have from June 2004, FreeBSD's
version of GNU tar didn't assert -p by default for root.
(That's why bsdtar already implements --no-same-permissions
as an undocumented no-op.)

I believe this was a local variation from the "official"
GNU tar sources, though I don't yet know when that was done.
Time for some CVS archeology, I think.
