Comment (by dd32):

 The particular error is pretty common from plugins who run code on
 inclusion, rather than on `plugins_loaded` or `init`.
 Basically plugins that run code on inclusion are `_diong_it_wrong()` and
 WILL break on a future release.

 These plugins appear to be running `get_posts()` upon inclusion, which is
 completely wrong to be doing (also, CPT's are not a great place to store
 options...) which in turn needs to figure out user details - of which,
 come from pluggable functions.. which are not included until after Plugins
 are loaded.
