Since you posted a workaround so quickly I ignored this report for a while.
I think your suggestion of using "--numeric-owner" makes a lot of sense, and to be honest I can't think of this package being used upon a non-GNU system, so adding it unconditionally makes a lot of sense. I will think about it a little for the next day or two, before making a new release.
