I'd replace the function Max.get_args() with a variable:

namespace Max {
        unowned string[] args;
}

int main (string[] args) {
        Max.args = args;
        ... initialize plugins
        ... use Max.args instead of args
}

public void peas_register_types (ObjectModule module) {
        if (!Gtk.init_check (ref Max.args)) {
                stderr.printf ("Error: Failed to initialize Gtk.\n");
                return;
        }
        stdout.printf ("Pass first\n");
}
