I would formulate it differently: There is a problem  with extracting the
tar with the tool Uwe used. There are many utilities that support tar, and I
know that at least one (GNU tar on cygwin or from GnuWin32) can extract the
archive correctly. Maybe others understand it as well.

For the fun of it I dug up a spare Windows machine and tried unpacking
the beta2 XZ archive using 7-Zip and PeaZip, two open-source file
archivers for Windows, and ran into the same 100-char truncation
issue. However, no such issues with Total Commander's internal tar
unpacker. For instance, I get the full:
  
lyx-2.2.0beta2\3rdparty\boost\boost\numeric\conversion\detail\preprocessed\numeric_cast_traits_long_long.hpp

Uwe, could you try Total Commander? It comes with an easy to use GUI.

I am not sure it is worth experimenting since we have now switch from tar-pax to the more widely available ustar format. It is this new tarball that should be considered.
