Ahh, I see now what happens there :), thanks.  Yes.  That would make
sense.

.. && do we really need to parse all options?  Wouldn't it be better to
artificially bound the -T FILE parsing power?  I mean, this is starting to
have Turing machine power :) and such lazy option evaluation probably
hides a lot of surprises...  and users could potentially think everything
is supported.

Trying again, wait .. I can observe that the lazy opt_parsing is broken
even for the -C option:

  $ ls
  po/ configure
  $ ls po/ # (empty)
  $ cat FILE
  -Cpo
  configure
  $ tar -cf test.tar -T FILE (this successes!)
  $ tar -tf test.tar
  configure
