*17.0 beta (not test).
Wrong exmple file; the .7z works correctly.
Failing .bz2 is at https://files.pushshift.io/reddit/comments/RC_2007-01.bz2
Probably that bz2 file was created by lbzip2 program.
Can you confirm that?
If so, then we know that lbzip2 can create BAD bz2 archives,
and there are reasons why 7-Zip shows errors for some lbzip2 archives.
More details here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/bugs/1626/
You can ask creators of these bz2 archives to repack all "bad" bz2 archives (that were created with lbzip2) with another bz2 packer.
Same problem files from here:

files above 2006-02 give me data error.
All versions above 7-zip 16.04 give me that error
