Not exactly the newest version...

IIRC there was a bug in the ladspa plugin that would return FALSE from
plugin_init if it didn't find any ladspa plugins to wrap. This was fixed
in gst-plugins-bad 0.10.18 (current release: 0.10.19).

As a work-around, you can either upgrade core (so that the plugin gets
blacklisted, and things continue to work), or upgrade gst-plugins-bad,
or remove the ladspa plugin (or chmod it to non-readable or something).
