It's a stupid, stupid bug.  To make this work, do the following:

thunderbird -install-global-extension /full/path/to/enigmail.xpi /tmp

That trailing ``/tmp'' is critical (technically it could be any
fully-qualified path).  Another way this could work is to put the XPI
file in /usr/X11R6/lib/thunderbird/lib/thunderbird-0.7.2.  I'm testing a
fix for this now.  I don't know how this ever worked on any UNIX system.
