This is an interesting situation and certainly feels like a bug. I'd say that Maven should *not* write the metadata file unless it actually downloaded the plugin or successfully used it. Has this been filed in JIRA, Wendy?
I reported an issue a couple of weeks ago (on the list), where maven was unable to download some plugins until I did mvn -U. Search for "mvn 2.0.5 doesn't downlado plugin when missing ?"
