CVS head has new option --no-unquote that disables unquoting file
names. Using this version:

address@hidden:~/gnu/tar/tmp/miekg$ find silly_names -print
silly_names
silly_names/the \a
silly_names/the \b
silly_names/the \e
silly_names/the \c
silly_names/the \d
silly_names/the \f
silly_names/the \g
silly_names/the \h
silly_names/the \s
silly_names/the \t

address@hidden:~/gnu/tar/tmp/miekg$ find silly_names -print0|~/gnu/tar/src/tar 
-cf archive  --no-unquote --null -T - -v
silly_names/
silly_names/the \\a/
silly_names/the \\b/
silly_names/the \\e/

-cf archive  --no-unquote  -T - -v
