I have no idea because the java source code is very extensive:

http://grepcode.com/file_/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/4.1.1_r1/com/android/server/BackupManagerService.java/?v=source


In any case, the original tar archive does not contain trailing slashed 
for directories:

tar -tvf nexus7.tar | grep gameloft

The problem I find is the backup manager closing gracefully when 
restoring custom tar archive (created with GNU Tar). So, any way to try 
myself without trailing slash? Any quick patch to compile and run?
