My 2¢ for the other side is: if trial does this, but twist and twistd don't, then it will be possible to get a passing test run for a plugin that doesn't get loaded.  I think it would be simpler and easier to debug to leave these consistent.

(I really don't think we should put this behavior back into twist or twistd, because "cd malware; twist web --path ." should not pwn your machine.)
