To be fair, the tar developers did fix this -- in 1.21, IIRC.

As to the original question, no, I don't think that there is any way
to "pretend" that one host/disk is the same as another.  When we have
a more expressive catalog, it might be interesting to have some kind
of "redirect" that amrecover could follow when browsing the history of
a DLE -- similar to Subversion's "copy-from".
