I suspect you're encountering this one:

Changes between versions 0.4b40 and 0.4b41 (released January 2, 2006)
=====================================================================
[...]
5.      Fixed dump to not include extended attributes information
        in the toc (archive) file which confused restore -t.

This bug only affects restore -t, other modes should work file.

You should also not have problems if you dump a filesystem without
extended attributes (selinux labels probably and/or ACLs).

Can you confirm this ?
