The info page tells something different:
`-o'
When creating -- `--no-same-owner', when extracting --
`--portability'.
The later usage is deprecated. It is retained for compatibility
with the earlier versions of GNU `tar'. In the future releases
`-o' will be equivalent to `--no-same-owner' only.
The manual page says:
-o, --old-archive, --portability
write a V7 format archive, rather than ANSI format
So yes, there is a bug somewhere, but I'm not really sure, where it is.
I'd file it as a documentation bug inside of tar.
