Perhaps something changed in how GObject introspection packages are built and installed between the time that sugar-runner and sugar-toolkit-gtk3 were both supported, and the time now. If so, then commits that change Makefile.am in sugar-toolkit-gtk3 may explain. To not speculate, use strace -f on the sugar-toolkit-gtk3 build steps to find out when and why the SugarExt typelib is installed, figure out what source file is responsible, then deduce how to make similar effect on sugar-runner.
