Unfortunately, the folder that reliably leads to this error message contains business data so I cannot attach it here, but I am still trying to find/setup a folder with arbitrary data that leads to this error message, too.

It seems to have something to do with the number of files and the directory structure of the folder to be compressed. I am using file-roller in conjunction with 7z to archive folders that contain Java projects. Java projects naturally do have a deep nested directory strucure with many short files. One folder contains ~1500 files, another one contains ~2500 files. Both result in that error message when compressed. A folder with just 1000 text files and no subdirs, on the other hand, works fine.
