I can reproduce the behaviour you described in KDE 3.5.10, so it did exist at
some point but may now have been fixed (or not).  However, I should probably
note that I get the "Extract" option replacing "Compress" only if all the files I
select are recognized as being compressed--if I select, say, two .zip files and a 
.txt, the "Compress" option remains available.
