This issue was confirmed by several persons in Nexedi.

I've just done a new RPM of python to fix this problem. This RPM is available 
right now on our Mandriva 2007 repository.

The RPM is based on the latest Mandriva 2007 update (python-2.4.3-3.1) and 
I've replaced the /var/lib/python2.4/tarfile.py by the one that came with 
python 2.4.1 (from Mandriva 2006 official RPM). For details, look here:
