Hi,

Thanks for the bug report.

That's the issue. It's a tar extension that the python tarfile module
doesn't know what to do with, so it just presents it as a regular file.
This then disrupts the check whether the tarball contains only a single
directory.

I'm working on fixing this.

Thanks,

James
