Comment (by kchrist):

 It's the same problem, really; in the Capistrano case the symlink is a
 couple levels above the plugins directory but the effect is the same.

 As in the other use cases described, avoiding use of `__FILE__` will fix
 the issue with Capistrano deployments. I'm currently filtering
 `plugins_url` and that does the trick, but it took a while to come up with
 that solution and it still feels like a bit of a kludge.
