Hello, I've debugged this. It was caused by a folder or file in the
extension called "_locale". Filenames starting with underscore are reserved
by use for our system, but we were crashing in this situation instead of
reporting a nice error.
Please choose a different name for this file or folder. If you were
intending to the Chrome extension system's localization feature, the folder
should be called "_locales", not "_locale" (plural). But note that
localization for Chrome extensions is not yet complete, so you will probably
encounter other issues with it.
