The fix revno#98570 for bug#4929 (with the subject "failed to access file
inside zip archive when using tramp") broke the ability to visit a file
in an archive inside another archive.
The problem is in the following lines in `archive-extract':
;; Just in case an archive occurs inside another archive.
(when (derived-mode-p 'archive-mode)
(setq archive-remote t)
This means that nested archives are treated as remote files.
An example of a patch that fixes this bug for nested archives:
=== modified file 'lisp/arc-mode.el'

But this patch should NOT be installed, because it causes the original
remote archive to be overwritten! This is just a demonstration of the
logic for nested archives.
I currently don't understand the decision to use archive-remote=t
for nested archives (this is an old decision), but perhaps they
should be distinguished from remote archives with a new variable
or a new value of `archive-remote'?
