You are indeed correct. I've forwarded this note to development and asked
them to address this.

I can't tar the ip21002.3d2 file, either.

For the Mac files, you can create the diskettes from the images, then install
from diskette. Not an ideal solution for distributing to the masses, but it's
there as a work-around until this is straightened out.
