This looks like you're using tar --no-same-owner, possibly via an ENV
variable or something else.

% fakeroot bash -c 'touch foo; chown 9 foo; ls -l foo; tar -zcf bar.tar.gz foo; 
rm foo; tar -zxf bar.tar.gz; ls -l foo; rm foo';
-rw-r--r-- 1 news root 0 Nov  8 09:43 foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 news root 0 Nov  8 09:43 foo

works just fine here with tar 1.27.1-2.
