Would adding
    /* Has the cached archive been changed on the disk? */
    if (parc->u.arch.st.st_mtime < archive_stat->st_mtime) {
	/* Yes, reload! */
	(*vfs_tarfs_ops.free) ((vfsid) parc);
	vfs_rmstamp (&vfs_tarfs_ops, (vfsid) parc);
	return 2;
    }
to ftpfs_archive_same (s/parc/super/g and s/vfs_tar/vfs_ftp/g, example
taken from tar_archive_same) fix this? Or do you expect more to be
required?

Not entirely correct. This was introduced *after* 4.6.0. There are a few
_undocumented_ changes introduced to tar.c after 4.6.0 was released. But
as this is a recent regression I guess I agree this should be fixed for
4.6.1.
