I just tried a further experiment, while running head (@r240235): I
issued

	tar tvf /usr/ports/distfiles/icedtea-web-1.3.tar.gz

The error messages are worded slightly differently:

g1-227(10.0-C)[4] tar -tvf /usr/ports/distfiles/icedtea-web-1.3.tar.gz

g1-227(10.0-C)[5] 


So the issue appears to be how to handle UTF-8 pathnames on the
file system in question.

I'm using a fairly plain UFS with soft updates.
