It is not something in git-archive, but it is hard to reproduce. I did spotted a bug in a archive creation script. If I do a
tar cfz archive.tar.bz2 <directory> # name the file .bz2, but use the -z (gzip) compression flag
unpack
tar xvf archive.tar.bz2
sometimes you get the warning mentioned in this bugreport, but not always. If I do this on some test directory everything works ok.
