In my standard MAME (exactly as in git, no modifications), if I go to the plugins menu, it is empty. Further, if plugin.ini was populated, it gets emptied out leaving a file of 3 bytes.
Plugins are enumerated by looking for plugin.json in subdirs of pluginspath. Also, noplugins can't be set although that probably isn't you problem as the plugin menu disappears in that case.

Sorry to bring this up again..., BUT.... although it works fine from the main menu, if I start a game, press Tab, and choose the Plugin Options, the only option is to "Return to Previous Menu".
Plugin options lets you configure the plugins which are enabled and have a menu (the cheat, cheatfind, timer and dummy plugins are the ones that have menus currently).
