We found this temporary workaround:

1. Using Ungoogled-Chromium, go to chrome://extensions/
2. Temporarily remove Chromium Web Store
3. Using those steps, reinstall Chromium Web Store
4. Close Ungoogled-Chromium
5. Start Ungoogled-Chromium
6. The error message is gone

This challenge seems to be with chromium-web-store. Not ungoogled-chromium. So I'm closing this ticket now
