Ok, but as I pointed out, this needs testing in uncommon configurations, that means effort by somebody, and the relative urgency is informed by the assessment of the use-case.  We were wondering why you didn't use `tar --mtime=` to get consistent mtimes?

Which is what needs testing, we thought they worked as expected previously, but they didn't, and hence the issues we had.  It would be nice if its all ok as expected, but past experience leads to caution.
