Comment (by bobbingwide):

 In my case I discovered the problem because the plugin was network
 activated; and network activated plugins are loaded after MU plugins.

 I could wait for 'plugins_loaded' but it's probably safer to wait for
 'setup_theme', since $wp_rewrite should have been initialised by then.
 'after_setup_theme' is too late if it's the theme that's registering the
 post type I want to override.


 As an aside: What's the reason for the `@` preceding the comment
 `// @plugin authors: warning: these get registered again on the init
 hook.`

 So, follow on question. Should there be a comment in the docblock for
 'register_post_type_args' saying when it's safe to hook into this filter?
 Or will this TRAC suffice?
