Is there a way to suppress valid files beginning with dot (.) in a tar archive giving false errors and files?
A more refined search brought up:

- https://norman.walsh.name/2008/02/22/tar
using export COPYFILE_DISABLE=true before extracting the archive prevents the dotfile processing:
$ rm -r test_dir
$ export COPYFILE_DISABLE=true
$ tar xzf test_dir.tar.gz
$ ll test_dir
