I don't think so. I made a successful test with a 100M sparseFile like
yours, but you have to give the --sparse option to borg.
In short (under /tmp):
borg init --encryption none /tmp/borg/repo
borg create --sparse /tmp/borg/repo::sparseFile sparseFile
cd ../dst
borg extract --sparse /tmp/borg/repo::sparseFile sparseFile
du -m ../dst/sparseFile
0 ../dst/sparseFile
