This seems to be warning of GNU tar.
It based on checking difference of timestamp or size of the file.
In this case, the half changes of datafile will be supplemented by transaction log file in "--apply-log" stage.
So, I think it is not problem.

And, I have changed innobackupex not to stop tar of backup datafiles
when the exit code of GNU tar for now.
