No, actually, it has hard link. In the typical case (which
is what you had), a regular file has one hard link to it.
Less commonly, regular files can have two or more (or zero!)
hard links.

More accurately, I'm saying that tar now behaves the same,
regardless of the number of hard links to foo.

No, dereferencing a symlink will always produce whatever would have
been produced had the symlink been replaced by whatever it points to.
Typically this will not be a hard link in the archive.
