Comment (by apjanke):

 Same scenario with finch, in `finch.c` lines 381-388. Attempt to create
 the plugin dir is done before libpurple is initialized.

 {{{
         if (g_mkdir(path, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IXUSR) != 0 && errno !=
 EEXIST)
                 fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't create plugins dir\n");
         purple_plugins_add_search_path(path);
         g_free(path);

         purple_plugins_add_search_path(LIBDIR);

         if (!purple_core_init(FINCH_UI))
 }}}
