Apparently, there are broken tarballs out there which are actually in ustar format, but did not write the `ustar` marker. Since popular tar tools like GNU tar and 7zip have no issues dealing with such tarballs, Phar should also be more resilient. Thus, when the first checksum check of a tarball in (presumed) in old- style format fails, we check whether the checksum would be suitable for ustar format; if so, we treat the tarball as being in ustar format.
