I can confirm this problem occurs too frequently on the Google Groups. Users install plugins and they get linker errors, or compile errors, because some files/frameworks do not exist in the Xcode project after installing a plugin. Often the fix is to uninstall and re-install, thus the problem seems to be in the CLI and not the plugin structure itself.
I would opt for 100% reliability versus speed in this case, since installing plugins is a one-time thing usually for a project.
