It fails for me on OpenBSD and FreeBSD.

In February, Kiyoshi KANAZAWA reported it for Solaris 11.3 x86:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2018-02/msg00001.html

Earlier this month, Ronnie Mainieri reported it, but I can't tell
on which platform:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2018-04/msg00001.html

Ah, I see, if a system has HAVE_DECL_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME (glibc,
I guess), then set_program_name() stores the name in
program_invocation_name and getprogname() reads it from there.
