 I had updated some and it also fails with those.

 To me it looks like a bug in g.extension itself:

 https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/scripts/g.extension/g.extension.py#L1042

 When I delete these lines
 {{{
             #if '\0' in data:
             #    continue  # ignore binary files
 }}}

 then g.extension works fine.
