It is not relevant in this case, because the name is given explicitly
in the command line and is therefore subject to unquoting by tar (if
you're interested, it happens in name.c:350). This can be suppressed
by using --no-unquote option, but it is rather a side effect, since it
was designed for use in conjunction with -T option. All in all, this
extra unquoting of file names obtained from the command line is
definitely a bug.
