Cannot execute browser plugin in unloaded node

[brollb]

I ran into some slightly odd behavior and wanted to make an issue to make sure it was the desired behavior. When running a browser plugin programmatically where the active node is set to a node that has not been loaded by the client, I get an error (Cannot call getOwnRegistry of undefined):

If this is the expected behavior, it should at least give a better error message in pluginmanager.js

I believe this is intended, but you are right in that it should throw a better error telling that you need to have your node ready to call a plugin on it.
