My current workaround is to load the plugin assets as elements.
I've placed them in the following path "/plugin_name/views/elements/css/",
name them in the following format: "*filename.css.ctp*" and then call them
from the view(s) using the following:
<?php echo $this->element('css/filename.css'); ?>
This allows me to keep all the plugin assets within the plugin directory so
that it is completely separate from the main application.
