On the Canon PowerShot G1 X, Auto Exposure Bracketing disappears from the FUNC menu when the camera is set to Manual (M) mode. Is there any other way to enable AEB in Manual, or is it only available in other exposure modes?

No. There is no way to do that on the Canon Powershot G1 X.
Program, Aperture and Shutter-Priority modes all support AEB but wont exposure in low-light. So the way to bracket for low-light scenes is to expose manually and this risks moving the camera.

No. On the Canon PowerShot G1 X, AEB is not available in Manual (M) mode.
AEB works in Program, Aperture Priority, and Shutter Priority because the camera still controls at least one exposure variable and can change it between frames. In Manual mode, you have full control, so the camera has no automatic parameter to adjust for bracketing.
If you need bracketing, use P, Av, or Tv and let the camera vary the remaining exposure setting. If you specifically want manual control for low-light or long exposures, you’ll need to bracket manually by changing settings between shots. Just be aware this can introduce camera movement between frames. Also, in Av or Tv, the available shutter-speed range may limit how much bracketing is possible for very long exposures.
