You bet it's a nice feature.  And it works fine for me.

Did you put

(require 'crypt)

in your .emacs?

Also, why not add:

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.\\(arc\\|zip\\|lzh\\|zoo\\)$" . archive-mode)
	    auto-mode-alist))
(autoload 'archive-mode "arc-mode" "Major mode for editing archives." t)
