Hi Partha -
as it is, the plug-in does merge down the pasted layer, after feathering.

You can change this behavior by commenting out the second before last line
inside the plug-in function - the one spelling:
pdb.gimp_image_merge_down(img, sel, EXPAND_AS_NECESSARY)

-----
Just place a "#" character in front of it and save again.

Another detail in your message: the plug-in does not become "enabled"
when there is something int the clipboard. There is no way for GIMP to
know the plug-in
does consume the clip-board. It however, will go from disabled to
enabled when there is an active image.
