Comment (by IwanLuijksQuestMedia):

 This happens when in the plugin itself you use the variable $plugin, as
 in:
 {{{
 #!php
 <?php
 $plugin = \SomeQM\Plugin::instantiate();
 $plugin->expose_hooks();
 }}}

 While the following doesn't trigger the errors:
 {{{
 #!php
 <?php
 $plugin2 = \SomeQM\Plugin::instantiate();
 $plugin2->expose_hooks();
 }}}

 This is really bad side-effect behaviour, and should be fixed, or at least
 fully documented somewhere.
