I get the feeling this is very similar to the issue mentioned in passing in bug
12612 comment 6.  The reason it doesn't work with nightly builds is that they
linked in slightly different fashion than production builds.  WebKit is not
built as an umbrella framework, which makes symbol lookup happen in a different
fashion for symbols in dependent libraries.  In this case your plugin is
expecting to find objc_msgSend_fpret (used for processing Objective-C message
sends with floating-point results) in WebKit.  You can work around this
temporarily by linking your plugin directly against /usr/lib/libobjc.dylib. 
I'll prepare a patch to WebKit shortly, it would be great if you can test it
and let me know if it resolves your issue.
