Unfortunately it has reintroduced this old bug:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2011-08/msg00006.html

This happens when symlinks are located before the target in the source 
archive. The example given in the above link produces this output:

$ tar -xf directory.tar
tar: directory/1: Cannot change mode to rwxr-xr-x: No such file or directory
tar: directory/2: Cannot change mode to rwxr-xr-x: No such file or directory
tar: directory/3: Cannot change mode to rwxr-xr-x: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Note that files and symlinks are properly extracted, but $? is set to 2 so 
scripts can fail.

tar 1.32-2 : ok
tar 1.33-1 : bug

This needs to be fixed.

Regards,
