I've contacted libarchive devs and they suggested --numeric-owner bsdtar
option. It works just as I expect it to.
pacman already only uses the numeric id's during extraction.
It might be libarchive bug/feature. I've found
archive_write_disk_set_standard_lookup()
which will force resolving uid/gid's if used. The trick is, version 3.3.0 I
compiled
packman against, calls such function almost uncoditionally in
archive_read_extract().

Aha, how nice of them. Things like this are why I don't recommend
using --root to manage chroot's. I suppose I need to get around to
finishing alpm's user handling.

A potential solution would be to port pacman to archive_read_extract2(), which
archive_read_extract() currently wraps.
I'll wait and see what's the libarchive upstream thought on this.
