tar(1) claims the program defaults to ustar format which allows path names of up to 256 characters long. tar however will reject paths over 100 characters regardless of format. i had a 153-character path rejected regardless of whether i left it at the default or specified -p (which specifies ustar).
apologies if this has been fixed since june.

alternate possibility: tar fails to actually set the format to ustar internally.
