I recently ran into such a problem and -safe-mode didn't work for me 
either. What ended up being the cause of the problem was a bad path in 
one of the contents.rdf files. It ultimatley was added to one of the 
overlay rdf files in my profile directory under chrome/

I hand edited all references to my extensions out of my profile and was 
then able to launch again. Fixing the path problem and reinstalling the 
extension fixed the problem.
