Changing write_filelist_except to update a new .md5 control file ought to be possible. You'd probably want to add a *newhash to struct filenamenode, though, and fill it out when unpacking, but working out the hash while unpacking (rather than running over every file to be unpacked twice) would mean hax0ring into the fd_fd_copy() invocation in tarobject() (archives.c), which seems tricky.
