So migration of per-user installed extensions from a pre-4 user profile to LO 4 appears to work fine now after <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=bd9c4510ff13ab7e935ed12c5b6d1f132c6f2b79> "Take extra cache/uno_packages/*.tmp_/*properties files into account," even filtering out those blacklisted via /org.openoffice.Setup/MigrationStep/ExcludedExtensions, with one exception:
Per-user installed extensions that had been explicitly disabled in the old user profile are enabled in LO 4.
To put that into perspective, the fix for <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32263> "Config file location" (first appearing in LO 3.5.0?) that required "migration" of user profiles from ~/.libreoffice/3 to ~/.config/libreoffice/3 on Linux appears to have had that defect too, in addition to the more severe defect of erratically not migrating some per-user installed extensions at all thanks to the problem now addressed with bd9c4510ff13ab7e935ed12c5b6d1f132c6f2b79 -- at least, that's my observation when trying to re-enact that "migration" with a current libreoffice-3-6 build.
And I see no cheap way to fix that, and am not sure it would be worth it to try hard.
(This sounds similar to <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57224> "CONFIGURATION: Deactivated Extensions become active" but is rather unrelated technically. That issue is strictly about upgrades within a LO 3.x or LO 4.x series.)
