Dang I'm a dork.  This:
chrome: //sideload/content/browser.xul
is complaining that a different extension, sideload, can't find it's
expected function getContents because Greasemonkey introduced one of
its own.

Options:
1) disable sideload
2) move GM  above/below sideload in the extension manager (which
affects the order the extensions are loaded and can avoid problems
like this)
3) Rename the GM function in your local install to something less
likely to collide.

If you take option 3, these are the files you'd want to edit in
extensions/{e4a8a97b-f2ed-450b-b12d-ee082ba24781}:

chrome/chromeFiles/content/config.js
chrome/chromeFiles/content/utils.js
components/greasemonkey.js

(The CVS version of GM resolves this sort of issue by doing component
namespacing, but it's not ready for general use.)
