It does sound like a problem with how Script-Fu (and maybe plug-ins in
general) are serialized.

Is there a way to pass in the image id? I tried, but I get error messages
when I try to pass the image id as the first parameter. Do you pass the
image id and drawable id's as a list?

Ick. If this is true then there is a timing issue here where plug-ins
can't call other plug-ins.

I'm going to try calling C plug-ins instead of Script-Fu, and variations on
the same, to see if there is one specific area where this happens.
Thanks for looking into this, Mark.
