Quite sure it doesn't affect this, since this is tar (and zip) which use Darwin API to query the file for extended attributes (and resources forks) to store in the archive (as what I think is AppleDouble).
Actually, I just looked at zip, and for zip archives you can disable this using -X.
I don't see a similar option for tar, if someone needs it, I'd suggest filling an enhancement report with Apple: http:// radar.apple.com/ (or as mentioned in my previous letter, getting a non-Apple blessed version of tar).
