In my case issues like this lead to a long period of diagnosing what was wrong with my system. I was getting these corruptions on about 1 in 20 upgrades. My machine also crashed about once a month (not always fatally - sometimes just Firefox etc.).
Memory diagnostics did not show anything until I ran them for 48 hours when they showed a single failure. I bought new memory and installed it. I have never had a corrupt tarfile issue since then. I now believe the cause of the corrupt file was actually a hardware fault on my system.
