Two thoughts that occured to me:
1) Ranks aren't used for encoders yet because that would break spider, right? 
Otherwise I'd suggest upping the ranks for your plugins and setting vorbisenc 
to GST_RANK_NONE.
2) Could you put a note in docs/random/ds/0.9-suggested-changes about removing 
that plugin and add a /* FIXME 0.9: remove vorbisenc */ to the vorbis 
plugin_init?
