No it's not. Any unix/linux process running as a certain user +
privilege can reinvoke itself with that same user + privilege. Think
about it, where's the security concern?

Anyhow, that's beside the point. The SC installation could invoke
another script/program and use setuid etc to do whatever functionality
is required if really necessary. It seems to me that if the SC user
interface asks the user to "restart" after configuring plugins then the
interface should also offer a restart button, or at the *very* least,
give some hint of how to do this. That's a basic principle of interface
design.
