Arachnoid cysts can cause chronic remodeling and thinning of the adjacent skull. So--while I've personally never seen a case of skull fx directly overlying an arachnoid cyst (general diagnostic radiologist, 6 yrs in practice)--it certainly would seem that the involved portion of skull would be relatively more susceptible to fracture in the event of trauma.
