Spotlight and Quick Look plugin behaviour change on OS X 10.8

My app uses a bundled Spotlight importer plugin and a Quick Look plugin.

Pre 10.8 when the app is installed the 2 plugins are active immediately after application installation.
I rely on Spotlight to index data files that I export from the app bundle into ~/Documents
When my app is first installed I kick off @"/usr/bin/mdimport" and Spotlight duly indexes my content.

Under OS X 10.8 behaviour seems to have changed.
Neither of the plugins seem to be recognised by the OS until after a reboot.
This interferes with my initial Spotlight indexing (the plugin isn't active so I get no results back).

Has any one else noticed something similar?
