I've just remembered that my ~/Library/Application\ Support/Brackets/extensions/user/ is itself a symlinked folder in Dropbox to share my settings across 3 different machines. It's possible that I did the original install on another machine which is causing this error.

Seems like a bug, but I don't have a Mac or a symlinked user folder to replicate and fix this. If you managed to found a solution, it'd be great to share it with others. PRs are also welcome.
