What was the issue number for the python2.7 fix? I think I have hit upon this 
issue myself and I need to see if I need to file a new report.

[issue10292] tarinfo should use relative symlinks

[Benjamin Root]

Benjamin Root added the comment:

To clarify, the bug is resolved in py2.7 -- for the most part. I think I have 
come upon an edge-case where if the archived symbolic link refers to a file not 
contained in a subdirectory, say: "foo.txt -> foobar.txt", extracting "foo.txt" 
would result in an exception: 'KeyError: "linkname '/foobar.txt' not found"'.
