Thanks for the report. I'm wondering if some of your troubles are caused by homebrew installation instead of straight up downloading an official .dmg file and copying application from there.
Here is what I did for completely fresh install from official package.
mkdir -p ~/Library/Preferences/kicad/scripting/plugins
ln -s InteractiveHtmlBom ~/Library/Preferences/kicad/scripting/plugins/InteractiveHtmlBom
After this you need to reload kicad and that's it, plugin button is there in pcbnew, no tinkering in scripting console needed.
I couldn't make script work from command line though, wx would just refuse to load some dynamic library.
Looks like in newer MacOS some changes were made, including application support folder change to ~/Library/Preferences
But for the most part instructions work. I'll fix the discrepancies.
The External Plugins menu does not exist under Tools.
That's because in release build action menu option is disabled.

The recipe pretty much does the same and it's still the official version, so it won't affect the compiled in paths, etc.

That's what I attempted at first but as you can see from the Python Console, ~/Library/Preferences or ~/Library/Application Preferences are not in the search path:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/python/site-packages/wx-3.0-osx_cocoa', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/python/site-packages/wx-3.0-osx_cocoa', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/MacOS', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/SharedSupport/scripting', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/python/site-packages', '/vagrant/build/python-dest/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python27.zip', '/vagrant/build/python-dest/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7', '/vagrant/build/python-dest/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin', '/vagrant/build/python-dest/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac', '/vagrant/build/python-dest/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/vagrant/build/python-dest/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/vagrant/build/python-dest/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/vagrant/build/python-dest/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/lib-dynload', '/Users/egger/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages', '.', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/SharedSupport/scripting', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/SharedSupport/scripting/plugins', '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/SharedSupport/scripting/plugins/InteractiveHtmlBom']

Well, that would be a great thing to mention then, no? ;)

It doesn't have to be in sys path, it has to be in pcbnew plugin search path. You can verify what directories pcbnew is looking at by running this from scripting console:
import pcbnew
print pcbnew.PLUGIN_DIRECTORIES_SEARCHWell, that would be a great thing to mention then, no? ;)
That is only true for MacOS release build and some linux distributions. And it's changed recently to be default on. I can't keep track of all builds, but I'll add some wording to indicate that that menu might not be accessible.
