Solved

There is a problem working with tarballs containing files which name equals 100 symbols.
- TAR on Windows (1.12 version) during extraction cuts names to 99 symbols.
- In current version of Midnight Commander (4.6.0-gentoo-r14) such filenames displayed incorrectly (cutted by one symbol).
And no problems if fully qualified filename shorter OR longer 100 symbols.

BTW, jnode distribution cantains 2 files with such names:
jnode/core/src/classpath/org/org/omg/DynamicAny/DynAnyFactoryPackage/InconsistentTypeCodeHelper.java
jnode/core/src/classpath/org/org/omg/PortableInterceptor/ORBInitInfoPackage/DuplicateNameHelper.java
