... GNU tar(1) implied the
-p option for root, but BSD tar(1) doesn't do that.

One problem that I don't see documented in any GNU tar
docs I can find:  Is there a way to suppress this behavior
for root in GNU tar?

From tar.info:

`--no-same-owner'

You probably wanted this instead:

: `--preserve-permissions'
: `--same-permissions'
: `-p'
: : `--no-same-permissions'

That's what I was looking for.  Thanks, everyone!

I'll get this into -CURRENT in the next few days.
