See https://github.com/npm/node-tar/issues/39.

TL;DR node-tar uses fstream in such a way that endChown is called with a uid that doesn't exist. In a docker container where we are root, this causes downstream issues like https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/4566 and https://github.com/jspm/jspm-cli/issues/1902.
