I cannot reproduce this on my F16 workstation here.

I recall similar issues in the past due to buggy tar on the host system,
for which we added a tar native recipe.

My system is fetching the tarball from the autobuilder mirror, you could
try fetching that and seeing if you're able to extract it outside of
Poky as a diagnosis step?
