Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a small tar file with 2 or 3 files in it
2. emacs -q
3. M-x load-library tar-mode
4. Open the tar file
You see the crash (with earlier posted stack trace)

I saw another crash with the following steps:
1. Repeat #1, #2 from the previous scenario
2. Open the tar file, you will see the file listing
3. Position the cursor on one of the listed files and hit enter (open the file 
in the archive)
You see a crash. Stack trace follows for 2nd scenario:
