Ah, I found out the difference: my box is actually Solaris 5.8. The gtar version there is 1.13 (which is also the version that ships with Solaris 5.9).

I get the pax header warning, but nothing else. Judging from your find results:

There should be another directory that is one level deeper, with "file_with_long_path" in it...

which seems to have been extracted in the root instead!
So perhaps you are hitting some length limitation in gtar.
