Garbage at the end of tar (kde 4.8.2 tarballs)

There are some data at the end of kdelibs' tar (and maybe in others as
well). Not sure what kind of data are, but they seem to me like
garbage.

For example this fails due to SIGPIPE error (basically tar closes the
pipe too "early"; probably there are some data/garbage besides tar's
data):

xz -dc kdelibs-4.8.2.tar.xz | tar xf - --no-same-owner

Have a nice day!! :-)
