Strange, it detects it by checking device & inode (and so does GNU tar btw). Is there some weird filesystem out there where these are not reliable?

EDIT: But anywhere, good to listen that some protection is now in tar.

The only situation I can think of is when tar is separated from the final output file by one or more processes (eg "tar cf - . | gzip > foo.tar" vs "tar czf foo.tar .") in which case it can't be reasonably expected to detect it.
Ironically GNU tar is a bit more fragile in this respect, it can't detect even the second case.

One, try a reinstall:
apt-get install --reinstall tar-gnu
Two, I suggest looking into BackupMenu(link in my signature) - It does exactly what the OP is trying to do. At the very least, you can take the exact tar command I used and copy it.
