I am unable to reproduce this with the reported version 2.82.2-1. Here
is the test case I tried:

=====
Script started on Sun 28 Feb 2010 11:41:56 EST
$ tardir=$(mktemp -t -d)
$ echo "Lorem ipsum" > ${tardir}/foo
$ echo "dolor sit amet" > ${tardir}/bar
$ tarfile=test.tar.gz
$ tar -czf ${tarfile} -C ${tardir}/ .

$ tar -tzf ${tarfile}
./
./bar
./foo

$ file-roller ${tarfile}
[… use the GUI to rename entry ‘bar’ to ‘baz’ …]

$ tar -xzvf ${tarfile}
./
./foo
./baz

$ cmp foo ${tardir}/foo
$ cmp baz ${tardir}/bar

$ exit

Can you please provide a minimal, complete sequence of steps that
reproduces the behaviour you're reporting?
