Good point. I tried extracting again with 3.10, and it only leaves the
one "../" on the front.

I just picked /usr, it could have been /etc, /var or any other
standard directory that every *nix distribution has. Regardless, if I
try to make unarj write to a directory that I don't have the
neccessary permissions for, it asks me to pick an alternate location
to extract to.

I don't see a problem, but it would be interesting to see which
version "doubles" is refering to.
