I think this bug is fixed in CVS tar, which you can get from
<http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/tar>.  Here's the change log entry.
If it's not fixed, please let us know.

        * src/list.c (read_header): Fixed calculation of the
        size for GNU long name/link. Tar was reading one block
        more if name_size was divisible by 512. Thanks Josef
