I tried the recipe in Emacs 28.1, and I'm not able to reproduce the bugs
as described -- I get an encrypted file that's saved.

file /tmp/test4.tar.gpg
/tmp/test4.tar.gpg: GPG symmetrically encrypted data (AES256 cipher)

However, when loading the back again, after displaying the contents, I
get:

Parsing tar file... 
File mode specification error: (error Malformed Tar header)

So there's still some bugs in this area, apparently...
