I don't know where the Sepia script is and you don't say where
you got it, so it's hard to tell for sure. But pandora-combine
is my panorama helper, and it registers a menu item
"<Image>/Filters/Combine". Perhaps you already had Pandora
installed, and the Sepia script is registering a menu item at the
same place? Though I thought GIMP could have multiple plug-ins
and scripts registering duplicate menu items without an error
message (which of course ends up being confusing to the user).

You could try editing pandora-combine.scm (which you'll probably
find installed in your personal scripts directory, perhaps the same
place you've been installing the sepia script) and changing the line
                              _"<Image>/Filters/Combine")
to
                              _"<Image>/Filters/Pandora")

and the line
                         _"<Image>/Filters/Combine/Arrange as Panorama..."
to
                         _"<Image>/Filters/Pandora/Arrange as Panorama..."

(in the version I have, these are lines 101 and 104, but you may
have a different version). I should probably make this change to
Pandora anyway, to make it more obvious which menu items it creates.

If that doesn't work, you could post more info on this sepia script
and where it comes from, and then people could check to see if they
see a similar error and whether it registers <Image>/Filters/Combine.
