Perfect. I found the fix; it was most likely a syntax/parsing error in
extension.json which then probably caused the entire file to not be
read.

Instead of the following lines:
+        "name": "isChromelessWindow",
+        "type": "function",
+        "unprivileged": true,
+        "description": "Checks is a given extension runs part of a chromeless window.",

use the following lines:
+        "name": "isChromelessWindow",
+        "nocompile": true,
+        "nodoc": true,
+        "type": "function",
+        "description": "Checks is a given extension runs part of a chromeless window.",

We don't have docs in the docs folder, and I'm not sure what nocompile
does.

Title:
  chrome.extension not available when called from extension scripts in
  Chromium but works on Chrome

Status in Chromium Browser:
  Unknown
Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When I updated to 13.10 and Chromium 29.0.1547.65-0ubuntu2, a few
  extensions stopped working properly. The easiest to reproduce is
  Reddit Enhancement Suite 4.3.0.1, it immediately fails on loading the
  extension with this error:

  chrome.extension is not available: 'extension' is not allowed for
  specified context type content script,  extension page, web page,
  etc.). [VM] binding (22):427

  Following from anywhere that called chrome.extension.sendMessage or
  chrome.extension.onMessage in the extension. Chromium's own bug
  tracker says this usage is deprecated (replaced by chrome.runtime
  namespace which does work) but testing against Chrome 29.0.1547.76 on
  the stable channel, the older namespace works correctly with the
  extensions.

    Installed: 29.0.1547.65-0ubuntu2
