The scenario of traversal-only access to the parent directory is common in a
situation where the directory contains per-user subdirectories, and each user
has no business knowing about any subdirectory but his own.

The archive generated is fine, the user has full permission to the directory
being archived, but tar(1) exits with an error status.

I regard this regression as a bug.
