The Bug Report says that this was fixed in Chromium 56. I'm currently running 57. So, you'd think the problem wouldn't exit in version 57:-
It was not and it won't be fixed. You can ask the maintainers for the why if you want.
Your only solution is starting chromium with the "--enable-remote-extensions" parameter... or move to chrome.

Actually, it will ask if you want to update, and all you have to do is say to keep currently installed version of the config file. I've been doing this for 5 or 6 upgrades now.
