Sounds plausible to me.  A simpler reproducer is:

$ cat | head

and in another shell:
$ pkill cat

After that, the pipeline 'cat | head' has exit status 0.  If I remember
correctly, progress(1) feeds tar(1), via a pipeline, so that may be the
same scenario.  In my example the exit status is 0 because head(1) calls
read(2), which returns 0 without any error, and that is of course
interpreted as EOF.
