same behaviour here: TAR 1.27.1 Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS 64 bit
incremental archive, both with --gzip and without

tar complains about one file in one attempt, exits after archiving it. After copying the snapshot and creating the next increment, it may fail on the same file or another one.

One file it just doesn´t get past is a 1.4 GB Log File, 69 MB compressed. The incremental tar has a size of 336 MB or so. (I deleted them all and can only roughly remember.)

The files that tar complains about haven´t been touched in ages.
