It's trying to register the package for the entire system instead of
just for your user.  If you run configure with the --user flag, it will
register X11-extras with your local ghc-pkg database instead of the
system-wide one.

This is why the copy command succeeds but then xmonad can't find
X11-extras; X11-extras is in the right place, but ghc-pkg hasn't been
told that it's available.
