fwiw it would be possible to have wxGUI preferences save a custom addon dir which it could save into ~/.grass/wx & add to the environment when you click Apply and also upon startup. And you can add it to ~/.grass.bashrc and have the shell script version of g.extension pick it up and use it.
... but that still doesn't get it into $PATH to run it. alternatively, in init.sh we could move cat "$USERHOME/.grass.bashrc" >> "$bashrc" until after echo 'export GRASS_SHELL_PID=$$' >> "$bashrc" but then you'd have to add PATH="$GRASS_ADDON_PATH:$PATH" to your .grass.bashrc file.. It is possible to rearrange init.sh to add some conditional magic into $MAPSET/.bashrc so a value in ~/.grass.bashrc would be added to the shell's $PATH, but it is invasive enough that I would not like to touch it before 6.4.2. Also you'd have to do the same for csh and MinGW/other shells.
