The problem is present on version 0.9.10 of pcmanfm on lubuntu 12.04; While dragging some file from package manager, a zip or any other compressed container, to any folder on pcmanfm the window manager freezes with a msg like 'no permissions to extract on folder "" '. To get that working again I use to kill the Xorg process and login again...

I believe this bug was fixed months ago. Check version 1.0rc1, please. Thank you very much!
I can confirm that this bug remains present.

After an initial wild goose chase (by me), it seems that dragging into pcmanfm window from engrampa, file-roller and xarchiver from the left hand side (i.e. over the shortcuts+mounts sidebar) causes this error. The Archive Manager has to be closed from another TTY, or via SSH.
I can confirm this as well. Able to reproduce consistently on MATE, TWM, and Openbox, using Engrampa, file-roller, and xarchiver. The common denominator here is PCManFM.
Bump!
OK, let reopen it and try to reproduce then fix. I hope it's a real bug and can be reproduced.
Now I've broken into SF, see:
