Title: wip

Not a pull request, really, just another piece of code being slung at the problem.

Re #5290

@othiym: Not sure if this is a real fix. I certainly don't actually
understand the problem, but I tracked it down to some really bizarre
behavior in the gunzTarPerm function in lib/utils/tar.js

This seems to work around the issue? Somehow?

Magic?
