buildah: invalid tar header: unknown

GKE cluster (1.12.7-gke.10) using the node image cos_containerd is failing to run containers built with buildah and pushed to GCR.

Failed to pull image "gcr.io/gke-clusters/testing:latest": rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to pull and unpack image "gcr.io/gke-clusters/testing:latest": failed to unpack image on snapshotter overlayfs: failed to extract layer sha256:f1b5933fe4b5f49bbe8258745cf396afe07e625bdab3168e364daf7c956b6b81: mount callback failed on /var/lib/containerd/tmpmounts/containerd-mount799987480: archive/tar: invalid tar header: unknown

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Build an image using the Dockerfile above with buildah
2. Push to GCR (or maybe any other container registry?)
3. kubectl apply -f test.yaml on k8s cluster
4. Use kubectl describe to view warning event

Describe the results you received:

Pod fails to spin up.

Describe the results you expected:

I’d expect the pod to pull and run the container.
