I am running Mac OS 10.6.5 and from 'tar --version' I get:
bsdtar 2.6.2 - libarchive 2.6.2
which should be the stock installation.
I just tried Saving Archive (as tgz) on a pdf of size 7.2 MB with two highlight
entries and the result doesn't preserve annotations. I also redid the
tar.gz and tar.bz2 commands as said before and still don't get back my
annotations (all blank).
However, saving as dmg did indeed preserve annotations and I noticed this time
that the result was actually slightly compressed (to size 6.7 MB) which became
more comparable to the tar.gz and tar.bz2 files (6.5 and 6.6 MB respectively).

What OS version do you have, and what version of tar (in particular
/usr/bin/tar) do you have? Could you have installed a different version over
the Mac-provided one? Because the default one should preserve the annotations.
Though it may be that it has problems with large amount of notes, so do you
also have this when there are only a few annotations?
