Subject: tar not reporting directory name ?

Hi Guys,
following a discussion on
https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/package-releases/254/
on http://matzeri.altervista.org/works/octave/doesnt/
I uploaded a tar file that on cygwin do not
report the directories entry
$ tar -tf generate_html-0.1.11.tar.gz
generate_html.0.1.11/COPYING
generate_html.0.1.11/DESCRIPTION
generate_html.0.1.11/INDEX
generate_html.0.1.11/NEWS
generate_html.0.1.11/inst/generate_html_manual.m

generate_html.0.1.11/inst/txi2reference.m
The packager uses tar-1.28-2.2 on Debian stretch,
and it reports for him the directory entries.
Any clue what is causing such discrepancy on cygwin ?
I am reasonable sure that is a recent change in behaviour as the
previous file version that have the same structure gave
me no headache in the past.
Of course if I unpack and repack the tar file, the directory are
as expected reported
