Personally, I blame GNU/tar. Try doing this:
tar cvzf test.tar.gz /some/directory/
md5sum test.tar.gz > test.md5
rm test.tar.gz
tar cvzf test.tar.gz /some/directory/
md5sum test.tar.gz >> test.md5
cat test.md5
For some reason you'll have two different md5's.
The i_node.st_atime fields have been changed on the files because the first
tar command referenced the files.
That's my first guess, anyhow. 'man tar' and look for --atime-preserve.
