For what it's worth, I recently had the similar issues with Cygwin tar
on text-mounted volumes in the last year.  We had users moving between
Cygwin tar and Redhat tar and there were issues extracting the tar
files.  I instructed them to create a binary mount for tar-related
purposes and that addressed the issue.  We need to use text-mounts, in
general, for other reasons.  It would be great if tar could be
adjusted to operate properly in these scenarios.
