 It seems to me that shell scripts don't work only if there are installed
 as !AddOns. I think it's caused by the fact that shell script and bat
 script are placed in the same directory. It's result of your wish [1]
 which required extra hacking on g.extension side (it was the bad idea from
 POV) and moreover produced this blocker. It would be nice to simplify
 things and to complicated them when it's really not necessary. I hope that
 it was fixed in r53428 in G65. Please could you try the next snapshot, at
 least `v.random.cover` seems to work for me.
