I could reproduce both use cases, the successful one with "tar -xf ",
and the failing one with "tar --warning=no-timestamp -xf ".

However, Tramp is involved only in the first case, because
file-name-all-completions is called. In the second case, nothing reached
Tramp.

So I guess you shall report this as Emacs bug.
