I can confirm the problem in a French environment : the accented
characters are not dealt with correctly by file-roller (they become
question marks).  I'm aware that the problem lies with the zip format
itself; invoking unzip directly from the command line does extract the
"badly named" files, albeit with an " (invalid encoding)" comment
appended to the name ---at least this way I can rename the offending
files manually.

The problem lies in that file-roller issues a warning about the
"filename not matched" but then does not provide a workaround.  It
should at the very least propose to decompress the files using some
simple substitution scheme (keeping the question marks, replacing them
with underscores, anything!) or maybe prompt the user to rename each
offending file on the fly.

Bottom line: file-roller should decompress SOMETHING.
