What
The list of installed plugins is now versioned with a counter that ticks whenever the cache is cleared or the file is replaced. A background read captures the counter first and discards its result if the counter moved, so a read that was still in flight when the cache was invalidated no longer writes stale plugin data back.
Evidence

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
