Because the accessibility doesn't apply to the affliction at all and because attempting to apply the accessibility to the afflicted disadvantage doesn't actually change the disadvantage's behavior in any non-negligible manner - a limitation that doesn't limit isn't a limitation.

How am I misusing Extended Duration? Is the ability for the user to cancel the effect at any time not enough of a reasonable limitation on permanent duration?

I was careful to state that you were potentially misusing it - as I'm not completely clear on what the dispelling conditions are, I can't be certain one way or the other. Hence my comment of "... and then you just have to be creative with the dispelling conditions."

Is "Costs HP" in the Basic Set? I cannot find it for the life of me. Is it part of the errata?

GURPS Powers, pg 110.

I didn't see you specify that it has to be Basic Set only; is that a restriction? It is generally assumed that unless you specify which books you are using (and thereby which books are prohibited), that every published book is available for use.

In this case it would change who can reprogram the character...from everybody in the disadvantage as written to just one person in my version.

Erm. Reprogrammable does not state that anyone can reprogram the character. It doesn't state who can do so or even how they do so. Those are all zero-cost features and (as this is an afflicted disadvantage) is determined purely by the afflictor. It does tell us that the character can be made to obey a master and then goes on to define how creatively the character can be as regards interpreting those orders according to what other traits the character may or may not have.

Costs HP is in Powers p110
It did not occur to me that was your idea of limiting condition on the trigger, I figured you just skipped the details in the post. However the user (meaning the demi god in this case) does not get to cancel it at any time and that would certainly not count. To count it must be something the Victim or his allies can do.

Is it worth mentioning that the standard way to build a PC god is to buy the priesthood as an ally group and leave it at that?
