This is definitely a File Roller bug. It doesn't affect the command-line tools. They can be used for the task just fine assuming that the file names are properly escaped.
Looks like File Roller, on the other hand, does not properly escape the file names when using 7z. Upstream bugzilla claims [1] that a similar bug has been fixed in SVN, and the fix seems to be trivial.
