I'm surprised that GNU tar 1.15.1 would output the message "Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers" given the exact input that you described. It outputs that message only if it sees a "-" or a "+" in the tar header, but the octal dump you sent didn't contain any "-" or "+"s. Perhaps you can run tar 1.15.1 under a debugger, and put a breakpoint on the code that is issuing that warning, and see exactly what string it is complaining about.
