I did look; bsdtar does do the right thing.
(I think I was remembering a bug that got fixed years ago.)

I tried but could not reproduce your bug using
a recent -CURRENT.  I downloaded this file:

http://ftp.cse.yzu.edu.tw/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/openoffice.org2/OOo_OOH680_m18_source.tar.bz2

and extracted ooo_crystal_images-1.tar.gz
and got the same MD5 that Eygene reported.

$ md5 ooo_crystal_images-1.tar.gz
MD5 (ooo_crystal_images-1.tar.gz) = ff0d576d4b0e71c268b1516095a3d085

Where did you download your file from?
