The problem is with hardlinks; I just discovered that COMPILING and INSTALL 
are hardlinked each other in test.tar, which by the way was somewhere 
stripped out or I forgot to attach it, however you can reproduce easily the 
bug, just have to create two hardlinked files, even empty, and a non-empty 
file _following_ those in the same archive:

touch A
touch B
echo C > C

tar cf test.tar A B C

this will cause ark to fail on test.tar, while

tar cf test.tar C A B will work.

I will report the bug in the novell bugzilla as soon as it will let me log 
in :)
