This is currently done on macOS along with docs. Depending on the workflow we might want to switch docs to Linux too. This has been a persistent problem (e.g. #1658) and is to do with the difference between the macOS / BSD tar and GNU tar. I believe GNU tar provides us with maximum compatibility and should make errors go away.
For safety I think we should make this change only happen for Node >= 12. It's going to require some work in the VersionSelectorScript and/or ci-release/iojs+release scripts to switch logic.
