As I realized, that Corinna is using "the latest and the greatest" of
the
Fedora distribution, I go myself
tar-1.27.1-8.fc21.i686.rpm
and extracted the tar program from it.
Again using FC19, but now the tar program that I extracted:

As noted by Achim, this modification of tar took place in July 2015.
