I think I may have made some progress in figuring this out.

Having installed a few more LADSPA plugins since I opened this bug, I see now
that different plugins behave differently when the registry is scanned in a
fork():

1) vlevel: actually registers!
2) blop: segfaults (caught by GStreamer segtrap)
3) sdk, cmt, caps, swh-plugins, vcf: do not register.

All of the above register when fork() is disabled.

I'm not sure about blop yet, but AFAICS the notable difference between vlevel
and the others is that vlevel uses a standard C++ ctor/dtor while the others
use __attribute__((ctor/dtor)) _init()/_fini().  Could that make a difference
in terms of how they are loaded?
