I have no idea.  I launched the debi command above from the build
directory, which in my case was:

    /root/jed/jed-extra/from-scratch/jed-extra/jed-extra-2.0/

I am sort of lost here.  If I understand correctly the chain of events,
we have:

1) The postinst script runs "/usr/share/jed/compile/jed-extra install"

2) The compile/jed-extra script runs "jedscript jed-extra-preparse.sl"

3) The jed-extra-preparse.sl script runs:
      $1 = "/usr/share/jed/jed-extra";
      % [...]
      update_ini($1);

4) The function update_ini (in make_ini.sl) starts with:

     public define update_ini()
     {  
       variable dir, buf = whatbuf();
       if (_NARGS)
         dir = ();
       else
         dir = buffer_dirname(); % default
     % [...]
     
The variable dir should have the value "/usr/share/jed/jed-extra" and not
the current working directory as when I run debi.  As I wrote above, I am
lost.

Have you made progress with the setup of a debchroot in your system?
