This is because you did mvn archetype:create in a directory containing a project. And that project has its packaging different from 'pom'.
Considering a directory tree of projects, projects descriptors (pom.xmlfiles) located in the leaves of that tree are not constrained but descriptors located at root or junctions must have <packaging>pom</packaging>. I'm not sure of this his the correct maven behaviour, but it is the behaviour assumed by the archetype plugin.
