This one is easy, make tmp a directory, then build the tar file in that directory so the archive members don't include the tmp name, then just move the tar file to where it is needed...

I believe that as this works, tar needs only to understand c, f, and -O. It is easy enough to search for gtar and use that, or allow user to define TAR. So, I think this is a non-issue.
