I tried and didn't fail. Are you the latest version?
lab:/home/oci # mkdir tomcat-bundle
lab:/home/oci # oci-image-tool create --ref latest tomcat tomcat-bundle
each ref must contain two parts
lab:/home/oci # oci-image-tool create --ref platform.os=linux tomcat tomcat-bundle
lab:/home/oci # ls tomcat-bundle/
config.json rootfs
oci-mage-tool create requires --ref in format A=B
I'm getting this failure as well. Pulled fresh from master (c95f76cbae7433449f3a09f329ef816a1a0d16b3)

Okay, so basically the issue is that the symlink handling is quite seriously incorrect. It assumes that all symlink targets are relative to the link name (this is only true for relative symlinks -- in this case it isn't an issue though) and also it appears that there's something wrong with how paths are handled.
The failure is that filepath.Join(filepath.Dir(path), hdr.Linkname) doesn't have a prefix of dest but path := filepath.Join(dest, header.Name). I can imagine that a header.Name with .. would easily break this sort of thing, but the image doesn't do this -- from looking at the umoci logs it's just an ordinary symlink.
[If you need to use an image tool which has more extensive testing and hopefully is more resilient I would recommend using umoci which has no problem extracting this image. (Disclaimer: I wrote umoci.)]
This project is no longer actively maintained. However, umoci is a much more full-featured tool for manipulating OCI images, and is now an OCI project as a reference implementation of the OCI image-spec. I would strongly suggest people move to using umoci.
