Update from original reporter:

Because I hadn't checked, I quit Safari, changed it to 32-bit mode, and 
restarted.  Frankate worked.  To confirm the reported behavior, I changed back 
to 64-bit mode, and Frankate still worked!  I then re-enabled my other 
extensions one by one, quitting Safari between each and trying Frankate, which 
continued to work.

I am now back to exactly the same configuration I started with, with multiple 
windows and various web sites, and no restarts of any other apps or the OS, and 
Frankate now works just fine.

Safari, and OS X, have been restarted a number of times since the update and 
the reported behavior was consistent, so I'm thinking that somehow (and as a 
software professional I can't imagine why) the 64-32-64 bit cycle unwedged some 
piece of persistent state somewhere that had been blocking some facet of 
Frankate's operation.

So, my problem is solved, but it may be worthwhile to keep this odd phenomenon 
in mind if it comes up again.

Thank you for report and quick comment it is working now :)
I can only point out Safari's extension support/framework is still immature and 
sometimes you can see weird glitches which go away with time (or after Safari 
restart or after extension re-install)
