Hi Bob,
FxPlugs have always been loaded from /Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug and ~/Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug. Other types of plugins (After Effects, FXScripts) are loaded from Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins. FxPlugs have a different path because they are meant to be used by multiple applications, not just Final Cut.
There's no secret way of preventing a particular plugin from loading, other than removing it from one of the plugin paths. If you have a bundle with multiple plugins, and just want to disable some in the bundle, you'd have to edit the bundle's plist.
