I don't know if this will fix the bug, but I'm pretty sure the
redefinition of normal-mode for tar purposes is no longer necessary.
IIRC it redefined normal mode to catch tar files containing the -*-
lines and prevent tar files being thrown to the wrong mode. This is
now handled with the `inhibit-first-line-modes-regexps' variable.
So: try removing the code in tar-mode that overrides the `normal-mode'
and see whether things work out for you.
