Sorry, I don't understand the implications of the change, or even the
problem.  Could you elaborate?

The doc string of tar-untar-buffer says:

  "Extract all archive members in the tar-file into the current directory."

which seems to match what it does.  Why isn't default-directory of
tar-data-buffer the right choice for doing that?
