I can confirm that it is fixed for me on Gentoo, at least for the place/resizeinfo/snap plugins. I compiled 0.9.9~daily12.12.05-0ubuntu2 and the plugins worked. It was not fixed in 0.9.8 (bzr 3429), but after patching 0.9.8 with http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~compiz-team/compiz/0.9.9/revision/3500 the plugins worked. (Though the window place mode selection in ccsm is broken, but that's just a minor annoyance for me.)
