Upgrade java/icedtea-web from 1.2_2 -> 1.3 fails: "tar: Pathname in pax header can't be converted to current locale"

[David Wolfskill]

I'm not at all clear what I can or should do in order to avoid the
reported error condition:

g1-227(8.3-S)[3] portmaster -d java/icedtea-web

===>>> Currently installed version: icedtea-web-1.2.1_1
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/java/icedtea-web

IMPORTANT: To build IcedTea-Web 1.3, you have to turn on 'ICEDTEA' option
for java/openjdk6 (default).  Otherwise, it will neither build nor work.

May I borrow a clue, please?
