After some discussion, which you can read at:

http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/issues/detail?id=69

we've decided not to do anything about this at this time.

Basically, this seems like a glibc limitation;
bsdtar asks glibc to do the lookup and apparently
glibc needs more than just /etc/password and /etc/group.

We're willing to consider arguments to the contrary;
please feel free to add your comments to the bug
linked to just above.

Cheers,

Tim Kientzle
