Odd. Is this with US systems? Maybe early ones?

Using B1-8.1 on a G3, it boots fine with extensions off- confirming what

This system uses an Appearance Extension with an Appearance document in the
control panels folder (and Appearance prefs of course), but no
AppearanceLib.

Maybe they've fixed the feature?
