In my case, .../TeXmacs/plugins was a symlink at this moment in the 
build procedure, and this is why I wanted to remove it and replace it by 
the real thing. It is created by a line in the Makefile

   $(CP) TeXmacs $(BUNDLE_RESOURCES)/share

which in my build log translates as

   cp -r -f TeXmacs ../distr/TeXmacs.app/Contents/Resources/share

Inside the TeXmacs directory, plugins is a symlink

   plugins -> ../plugins

Thus the problem boils down to the question whether "cp -r -f" follows 
symlinks or not. In my case it didn't, in your case it does.

Anyway, I have now checked a fixed version into Fink CVS.
