Of course it's not correct that GIMP allows plug-ins to do such things. It should clean up after them and release all resources they allocated. But this is not an ideal world and this cleanup mechanism in the core remains to be unimplemented. So as a plug-in developer you should be careful about releasing all resources you are allocating in the GIMP core.
