If this is the same bug as I'm experiencing using GNU tar on a different system, this tarfile should reproduce the problem:
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/n/nose/nose-1.1.2.tar.gz#md5=144f237b615e23f21f6a50b2183aa817
Note that I'm not using Ubuntu -- I just came across this bug report while researching the same error messages and noticed that it lacked a reproducible test file.
