Comment:
Okay, for the archive:
Kubuntu overrides the kde default mimelink paths, so that  the files in /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/mimelnk is taken as default. The x-tgz.desktop etc. there does not contain the needed [Property::X-KDE-LocalProtocol] paragraph. So a Ubuntu style system wide change of the behavior would have to be made in the .desktop files in /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/mimelnk (package kubuntu-default-settings).

User-workaround:
Copy x-tar.desktop, x-tarz.desktop, x-zip.desktop, x-tgz.desktop and x-tbz.desktop from /usr/share/mimelnk/application to ~/.kde/share/mimelnk/application.

System-wide workaround:
Copy x-tar.desktop, x-tarz.desktop, x-zip.desktop, x-tgz.desktop and x-tbz.desktop from /usr/share/mimelnk/application to /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/mimelnk/application. But this will be reset with future updates of kubuntu-default-settings package.
