As mentioned in bug 1209341 comment 0, and several other places, the temporary add-ons added to the database should not written to the on-disk data store. In general, the extensions are still removed after a restart, but it's currently too easy for them to remain after restart when we hit corner cases (e.g., bug 1284439), so it would be safer to just make sure they're never persisted to disk at all.
Per bug 1209341 comment 0 (option #1) is what we decided to implement here, so if temporary add-ons are making it to the JSON store then we're doing something wrong.

I think this might be fixed in the meantime... moving to unconfirmed.
