Great, thanks for the confirmation.

Did you hear anything about how to achieve -O|--to-stdout when
extracting (-x) a specific file?

So far, the only alternative seems to be to tell the users to
install either GNU tar or BSD tar and use that with bpkg. But
I wonder if there is a way to achieve the same with the base
tools. I skimmed through the pax man page but couldn't see
anything promising.
