I wasn't really looking for alternative command lines as I would normally just do a tar -xvf but my problem is that portage is doing something like:
pbzip2 -d -cq broken.tar.bz2 | tar -xp -C /tmp/.... -f -
Which also fails. The >broken.tar syntax was the obvious most simple case that both demonstrated the problem and showed that the data was being truncated at an interesting number of bytes.
Thanks for testing and confirming.
