OK, I've worked it out.

Remember that Reiser4 lets one open files as directories (this is in order to be
able to implement arbitrary extended attributes, ACLs, and alternate data streams).

gst/registries/gstxmlregistry.c @@ 1313:
static GList *
gst_xml_registry_rebuild_recurse (GstXMLRegistry * registry,
    const gchar * directory)
{
  GDir *dir;
  GList *ret = NULL;
  gint dr_len, sf_len;

  dir = g_dir_open (directory, 0, NULL);

  if (dir) {

The g_dir_open call always succeeds, so gst_xml_registry_rebuild_recurse tries
to recurse into the file-as-directory contents of the plugins.so instead of
loading them as plugins.
