Nowadays (i.e. since the switchover to a libarchive-based tar) tar can
handle many different archive formats.  This includes reading ISO-images
directly.  So this is not below tar's radar when operating directly on an
ISO-image.  If said image had been mounted as a filesystem and tar was then
used to collect files from that filesystem, it should have been unnoticed by
tar, but that is not the case discussed.
