cant install extensions with plugins

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Occurs at least on Linux.

There are two problems with this:
1) plugins force an extension install prompt
2) --load-extension with plugin extension hits a CHECK(storage_.get()) in

To fix, I can imagine a couple solutions:
-change --load-extension to never cause a prompt
-register extension through Preferences and possibly by placing into correct 
place in user data dir
-install extensions through devtools

Have you reported this upstream in Chromium?

What needs to happen to fix this bug? It's blocking http://crbug.com/350512 , 
and I'm getting nag emails to remove the --load-plugin switch :).
