This looks like it is related to setuptools installing the plugin as an egg. There are two options, we require all modules to be deployed with zip_safe=False or we alter our loader to accommodate it. Here is some potentially relevant code:

I have prodded python regarding this issue under https://bugs.python.org/issue19699 but I am going to label this a bug and see if I can find a workable workaround for it.
