It's 100% reproducible in Hardy:

 * right click on any OpenOffice document (as in, an actual OOo file like a 
.odt, not a .doc)
 * Look for the "Create Archive" option you'd normally get when right clicking 
on a file
 * Notice that the option is not there, instead you have "Extract Archive"

This is because OOo files are zips of XML and other stuff, so Nautilus
is recognising them as zip files, but it's not useful for a normal user
to be able to extract the XML and other data from a .odt.

Arguably there is no need to put a .odt in a .zip or .tar.gz, however,
they might want to create an archive with one file and then add others
later.

Since File Roller is gone from the Applications menu, there is no way to
start a new .zip/.tar.gz with an OOo document.
