The registry file isn't broken, for some reasons those plugins got blacklisted,
see e.g.:

tpm at zingle:~/tmp$ hexdump -C registry-broken.i386.bin  | grep -C 10

I can't say why they get blacklisted of course, but it's usually because of
some packaging / library version issue (missing library / incompatible library
version / library not compiled with the rigth switches / mixing packages from
multiple repositories).
