It's a bug of tar-mode.  Thank you for noticing it.  I've
just installed a fix.  But, I can't reproduce it in
archive-mode.  Please send me a minimum *.zip file that
reproduces that bug.

Yes.  But, file-coding-system-alist is also a place to
handle it.

And, functions in auto-coding-functions is called on any
file, but currently, po-find-file-coding-system is called
only on *.po file.  I'm not sure which is better, but at
least there's a difference.
