Thanks, that shows the problem.

The filtering software is mandatory at build-time ("makedepends"), so
the filtering plugins are installed unconditionally.

But then they make the filtering software that the plugins depend on
optional ("optdepends"), which circumvents the build-time checks and
leaves the plugins in a possibly invalid state.

If the plugins are installed unconditionally then the filtering software
must be installed unconditionally.
