I think that we had managed to convince ourselves that building the plugin
internally makes the problem go away. Apparently that is not the case here.

Just to be clear, when you rebuilt the VM to eliminate the UUID problem,
did you build it with no UUIDPlugin at all, or are you saying that recompiling
on your own machine was sufficient to correct the problem?
