As long as Nautilus wants to open it with Archive Manager, yes, I do
expect it to work. Logically, it is a bug as long as it does not work
although it advertises it. (Besides, it seems to be only a very minor
command line invocation syntax problem in file-roller!)
Alternatively, it would be logical to no longer advertise Archive
Manager for this type of file, as you put it, if it really isn't
expected to handle exe files. Power users who feel lucky could still try
to open it using "Open with Other Application..."
Note: it is a cab archive wrapped in an exe, just like many other
archives like zips can be. It has been very valuable to me to be able to
extract exe-wrapped archives without using wine or windows! And the wide
support for formats has always been a forte of FOSS - why not go all the
way?
