In a Saucy amd64 system I opened a .tar.xz archive (which I'd previously created myself on another system with "tar cf ..." followed by "xz -9v ...") and double-clicked on the single folder it contained, to view its contents in file-roller itself before performing any extractions. file-roller crashed.
I believe this is bug 723841 but I am not 100% sure without looking at a good symbolic trace, so I'm posting this just in case. I'll try to compare the trace as soon as there's a good one, unless someone else (or the Apport retracing service bot) does so first.
