for CPT's, It's always been the case that they do get hierarchical url's *if
registered as a hierarchical type* AND the rewrite rules have been flushed
since you registered it like that. Often people will register it as
non-hierarchical, flush the rules, see everything is good, and THEN set it
to hierarchical and wonder why the url's are 404ing (they haven't flushed
their rules since setting the hierarchical flag);.
For Custom Taxonomies, Initially hierarchical taxonomies didn't support
hierarchical url's, Thats now supported, Pass rewrite =>
array('hierarchical' => true); to the args when you register the taxonomy.

For that, I'd suggest looking into the 'has_archive' register_post_type
argument before attempting that plugin, It seems to duplicate what's in
WordPress 3.1+
