upstream (Paul Eggert) says:
regarding 1.13.22
This fixes Debian bug 92106, in addition to the bug fixes I already
reported to you for GNU tar 1.13.20 and 1.13.21. It also fixes a
core-dump bug for tar 1.13.19 and later, reported to bug-tar.
regarding 1.13.21
This fixes Debian bug 95984, in addition to the bug fixes I already
reported to you for 1.13.20. It also upgrades tar to use gettext
0.10.39.
regarding 1.13.20

closing out or modifying the following bug reports:

for me.
