See http://sources.debian.net/src/libarchive/3.1.2-11/tar/bsdtar.c/#L74
for explanation/reason and where to hack if you want to change the
behaviour. (See apple ifdef for reference.)

Feel free to convince upstream about changing the behaviour if you still
think it should be done after investigating the above.

Status in libarchive package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1. % lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
  Release:	15.10

  2.  % apt-cache policy bsdtar

    Version table:
   *** 3.1.2-11build1 0

  3.  bsdtar -t should read from standard in if a file name is not
  specified

  4.  % bsdtar -t
  bsdtar: Error opening archive: Failed to open '/dev/st0'

  
  Note that if you specify -f -  (aka stdin) it works as expected.
