Please, write that directly to the ticket on Trac:

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2598

Put there also how did you change the permissions. g.extension should
install by default to .grass7 in your how directory (or equivalent) or if
executed with sudo (or equivalent), it will put data into system directory
(neither option should require change of permissions).
