This problem seems partially resolved on gutsy (firefox 2.0.0.4+2-0ubuntu1), although it's pretty hard to understand what's going on.
Installing the latest greasemonkey extension:
$ firefox -install-global-extension /tmp/greasemonkey-0.7.20070523.0.xpi
- this fails without any useful output (just the unrelated 'GSlice: g_thread_init()' warning)
$ sudo firefox -install-global-extension /tmp/greasemonkey-0.7.20070523.0.xpi
- this succeeds, but again without any useful output.
