Good point. GNU tar requires using the correct option, -J, when extracting an xz-compressed tarball.
But OS X tar is bsdtar, which ignores -z and -J when extracting because it automatically recognizes compression and does the right thing. So it turns out both our suggestions happen to work on OS X.
