Well... the symlink ownership seems to be preserved here if one extracts as user root. ;-)

But this one is rather amusing (?), and makes me remind of:

   <http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server/2006/Apr/msg00568.html>

It really looks like that all these tools (tar, rsync...) encounter similar problems, very likely because of copyfile() and/or the libraries it relies upon.

For example, could you create a tarball of xyzzy2, and then extract it to xyzzy3? It tried here, by reproducing your experiments, and just got a crash very similar to the one described in point [G] of my April's post (note that I updated to 10.4.7 today).
