You won't believe it but that's it, that was my problem. I had to put it in
a directory registered as plugin dir.
And I had intentionally avoided that, how come?
The fact is that the differences between autoloaded plugins and registered
plugins were not so clear to me, as you may have seen ;).
I knew I had to avoid making an autoloaded plugin because it is always
cached (I started out with such a plugin) so, among the other things I
tryed, I moved it outside of a plugin_dir ...

instead I should have simply kept it there, _added a call to
include_once('path/to/plugin')_
to avoid:  "[plugin] block 'nc' is not implemented" , and registered it.

Thank you for giving it one more try.

It almost sounds like you weren't manually including the plugin during
a cache hit but rather were only registering it. Perhaps that is why
Smarty was trying to load it from one of its known plugin dirs. In
theory, you can prevent Smarty from ever searching the plugin dirs if
you manually load and register your them. Anyways, I'm glad to hear
that you got it solved.
