Consistency with the task beats consistency across applications. Yes, this will make people stop and think for a moment, but it should become clear rather quickly which is which.

Actually, I think it would make sense have two "Extract" items, one in Archive which always extracts the whole archive, even if files where selected, and one in File, which only acts on selected files. The whole File menu should be deactivated if no files are selected.
