Well, I found out why, or at least I think I did--Finder is confused by the
unstuffer documents, which are all of type SIT! and possess their own bundles.
By removing SITD from the disk, my archives turned in Optimal/Better Unstuffer
documents.  So, by removing the unstuffer documents & putting SITD back on
the disk, & the rebuilding the desktop, the problem went away...But I'm left
wondering if this a bug or a feature in Finder 7.
