Plugins are not supposed to look at the
PAINT_WINDOW_NO_CORE_INSTANCE_MASK flag. It's supposed to be a
write-only flag for plugins.

I'm not sure what's the best solution is here as I don't know exactly
how the group plugin works. Checking if the
PAINT_WINDOW_NO_CORE_INSTANCE_MASK flag is preset is definitely not the
correct solution though.
