Andreas, thanks for identifying the cause of the original report.

Some remarks for the additional issues mentioned by Andreas Hartmann in comment
#1:
> - If you encrypt a tar.gpg file, the timestamps of all encrypted files are

> time ago and now is there again.

I doubt this ever worked with gpgtar, but in the past we have used tar+gpg
instead of gpgtar and tar does preserve timestamps. Unfortunately, gpgtar
doesn't. That's tracked by https://dev.gnupg.org/T5054.

> - The directory structure is broken through decrypt. A given directory
> structure in tar of /1/2 is decrypted to /1/1/2

This might be intentional. gpgtar never extracts to an existing non-empty
directory. If that's not what you are seeing then file a ticket at
https://dev.gnupg.org/.

> - Filenames seam to be interpreted during decryption. Therefore, some

This looks like https://dev.gnupg.org/T4554. I created an archive with the
filenames you listed (with gpgtar --create and copies of a random PDF file),
but I could extract it without problems (with gpgtar --extract). Maybe
encryption/decryption is required to trigger the problem.
