This does not appear to happen with CVS tar in listed-incremental mode. Please 
try upgrading your tar and check if you still see this behaviour.

For reference, this is the test I performed:

$ # Build CVS tar, chdir to src/.
$ mkdir -p test/foo
$ touch test/foo/bar
$ ./tar -cvf test1.tar --listed-incremental test1.incr test
./tar: test/foo: Directory is new
test/
test/foo/
test/foo/bar
$ mv test/foo test/baz
$ ./tar -cvf test2.tar --listed-incremental test1.incr test
./tar: test/baz: Directory is new
test/
test/baz/
test/baz/bar

Cheers,
