This bug still exists... try the following:

touch a.b
tar -cf aTarFile  a.b

Now you have a "tar"-file. Trying to open it in file-roller will produce
an error.

file aTarFile
> aTarFile: POSIX tar archive (GNU)

Renaming the archive to any uncompressable file-type (like *.zip,
*.lzma, *.7z, ... or just *.tar) will give you a file which can now be
opened by file-roller, even though this is "just" a tar-file.
