Then you may be seeing the same or a similar bug on your platform.
You didn't really specify how long that delay is, though.

It doesn't matter whether you see something as a bug for it to be one.

If it is missing, then it will be added (remember my comment about the caching based on the file modification 
time?). If a plug-in was there previously and has been changed, its query() procedure will be run again. See 
http://www.gimp.org/docs/plug-in/sect-essentials.html for a more detailed description of a plug-in's key 
procedures.

So there's no need for GIMP to re-query plug-ins all the time. As I wrote before, an GIMP launch with 
unchanged plug-ins should rush through that stage.
