I have used tar to save/restore/move a lot of user home directory and never seen anything similar. I have little to no experience wit MacOS, are the filenames case insensitive on Mac? Have you tried installing gnutar on Mac? Also, you cound try with a small archive that would only contain one directory and one file, both with the same name (except the capital).
