It could be.  Or it might be a recent change that I haven't caught up

$ sysctl hw.machine_arch
hw.machine_arch: i386
$ tar zxvvf nonexistent.tar.gz
tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'nonexistent.tar.gz': No such file or directory

If versions of bsdtar more recent than Sunday night (around 19:00 UTC)
all exhibit this problem, look for a recent change that causes this.
