Thinking about, I believe we need an own function for
tramp-archive.el. Something like (untested)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun tramp-archive-user-uid-for-file (filename)
  "Like `user-uid-for-file' for file archives."
  (user-uid-for-file (tramp-archive-gvfs-file-name filename)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This should return the local uid for local archives, and the remote uid
for remote archives.

Best regards, Michael.
