Hello Paul, while I'm writing a tar PR I tried to reproduce your problem. 
Unsuccessfully. It works just fine.
I guess your tar isn't finishing without errors, since permission setting 
is done after extraction, I can see your problem if I interrupt this 
command. It the leaves the tree with wrong permissions you described.
Maybe your destination is full?
You have to see where the error occurs, in general it works just fine.
