Steps to reproduce:
When you uninstall a WebExtensions extension, the extension's data (chrome.storage.local, probably other stuff) is not removed. Reinstalling the extension picks up the old data, instead of starting from scratch.
This is breaks user expectations and makes it difficult to reset an extension without resetting the entire profile.
Also note that uninstalling an extension in Chrome, does properly clean up all of the extension's data.
Actual results:
The extension's data hangs around.
Expected results:
The extension's data should be removed.
