The changelog for Python 2.5.2[1] has quite a large number of references
to the 'tarfile' module.  One in particular looks like it might be the
culprit:

  - tarfile.py: Fix directory names to have only one trailing slash.

(Later)  OK, after installing 2.5.2, all tests pass cleanly.  Somebody
really screwed the pooch in there.
