bad timestamps mc-4.8.19 copy from archive

Anyone else using openSUSE or Fedora seeing this:

To reproduce:
1-left pane, enter some tar.gz or .bz2 archive, e.g.
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/2.48/contrib/seamonkey-2.48.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
saved locally
2-select all files with * key and dirs with INS
3-F5 -> ENTER
4-TAB

Actual behavior:
All files from archive show current timestamps

Expected behavior:
Files and directories inherit individual timestamps from archive

I first noticed this some weeks ago when busy and no time to follow-up before
forgetting. Tonight I updated two TW systems, then found a BS package for Fedora
25 and tried. All three suffer this. I recognize nothing in changelog or mc's
tracker to explain it as expected behavior. Ordinary copy continues to work as
expected. :-(

Reverting to 4.8.17 solves.
