I tested this using version 2.28.2-1 of ‘file-roller’, version
2.28.4-1 of ‘nautilus’.
I don't get the reported error message. However, the main reported
behaviour (the cancel button has no effect) I managed to reproduce
following these steps:

$ workdir=$(mktemp -t -d)
$ tarfile=${workdir}/test.tar
$ tar -cf ${tarfile} /dev/null

$ nautilus ${workdir}
[… Within the resulting Nautilus window:
* Drag the entry ‘foo’ onto the entry ‘test.tar’.
* A dialogue box appears titled “Adding files to archive”, with a
progress bar.
* The progress bar jumps to 50% and stays there.
* While the dialogue box remains, select the “Cancel” button.
* The button has no apparent effect.
* Eventually, the dialogue box disappears.
* Close the Nautilus window.

Instead, selecting “Cancel” in Nautilus's “Adding files to archive”
dialogue box should cancel the operation, leaving the archive in its
original state.
