I used your code to make a plugin, which I didn't work for me either but
I do get an error on the terminal:

(eog:13456): EOG-CRITICAL **: eog_plugin_activate: assertion
`EOG_IS_PLUGIN (plugin)' failed

+1 for help!

btw can you send me the link to the console plugin you are using?

Here is the slightly modified code
import gtk
import eog

class ButtonPlugin(eog.Plugin):

	def test(self, b):
		print "hello from test"
		return False
		
	def add_button(self):
		ap = eog.Application()
		window = ap.get_windows()[0]
		self.uimanager = window.get_ui_manager()
		self.newUi = '<ui><toolbar name="Toolbar"><toolitem
action="Test"/></toolbar></ui>'
		self.mergeId = self.uimanager.add_ui_from_string(self.newUi)

		print self.mergeId

		self.actionGroup = gtk.ActionGroup("TestGroup")
		self.actionGroup.add_actions([('Test', None, '_Test', None, 'Test
this', self.test)])
		self.uimanager.insert_action_group(self.actionGroup, 1)


		self.actionGroup.get_action('Test').set_property('short-label',
'_Test')
		self.actionGroup.get_action('Test').set_property('visible', True)

		self.uimanager.ensure_update()

	def __init__(self):
		self.add_button()
