Thank you for sending in your bug report. Actually, when you open an archive (tarball in this case) Nautilus actually runs another application called file-roller. If you look in file-roller's menu there is no option to show/hide hidden files. This may be the intended behaviour by the original developer. Would you like to request this feature be added? Thank you.
