This error is generated by G__gisinit() if G__mapset_permissions()
returns 0 (mapset directory exists but not owned by the current user).

It isn't trying to write in PERMANENT. It's trying to execute the
command (to generate the HTML) with $GISBASE/demolocation/PERMANENT as
the current mapset. If the person running g.extension isn't the owner
of $GISBASE/demolocation/PERMANENT, that will fail.
