I've toyed with an unpacked example extension that talks to a native host connector (a simple python script that listens to messages and echoes all it receives).

This works with the following caveats:

 - the connector has to be installed under $SNAP_USER_DATA/.config/chromium/NativeMessagingHosts/

 - the path to the connector in the manifest needs to be an absolute path (as documented at https://developers.chrome.com/extensions/nativeMessaging), e.g.:
    "path": "/home/osomon/snap/chromium/current/.config/chromium/NativeMessagingHosts/native-messaging-example-host"
