Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better.
I downloaded & had a look at the tar file. First of all, your option to
set '-o' was a sane one, but it did not matter -- this is the default
for non-root users of tar.
Second, the error you are getting comes from the way the original files &
directories were created:

Notice the error when trying to 'ls -l' the ./ppd directory:
2277613 4 drw-r--r-- 3 hggdh hggdh 4096 Jun 24 2007
./Linux/noarch/at_opt/share/ppd
find: `./Linux/noarch/at_opt/share/ppd': Permission denied
This is expected behaviour: this directory was created *without* the
eXecute bit on the owner's permissions -- so it is *NOT* browseable. If
you know what you want, you can still get it, but you *cannot* list the
directory.
So...

It now works. Of course, we now find *another* directory also without
eXecute for the owner... but another 'chmod o+x' will resolve it. And so
on, and so on.
This is not a bug in coreutils: 'tar' is not a coreutils component; this
is also not a bug on tar -- tar is working as expected. This is a bug,
at most, on the setup of the original file structure used to create the
tarball. I cannot understand why they would setup this structure, but
perhaps they had a reason.
Please discuss this with Samsung -- they created the tarball.
