(For what it's worth, I believe "-p" also has no effect during a create
operation, though tar doesn't abort with an error for that combination.

From
  https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_section/tar_70.html#IDX521
: 
===============
`-p'
`--same-permissions'
`--preserve-permissions'

    Extract all protection information.

    This option causes tar to set the modes (access permissions) of
extracted files exactly as recorded in the archive. If this option is
not used, the current umask setting limits the permissions on extracted
files. This option is by default enabled when tar is executed by a
superuser.
