Look at this from Google's perspective: they would like to improve the G+ interface for the users that don't want/need/know how to use your extension (i.e. the majority of their users). How else are they to do this - they cannot consult with extension developers on every change they make. Nothing would ever get done.
As your extension relies on scraping the DOM, you cannot expect to have stability, especially with Google's tenacity with their UI updates to Google+. You took the risk, and unfortunately, it involved more work than you would have liked.
