This is not a bug, it is by design, the phonebook driver is a built-in
module. In fact, all the plugins
we have currently are built-in. That's why nothing gets installed in
the plugins folder.

Thanks for the report, this is a bug. There's a patch for it in my
development tree. Waiting for review.

But before the next release happens, disabling a plugin is equivalent
to setting its value to dummy, i.e.
--without-phonebook (if it worked ;-) would be the same as
--with-phonebook=dummy.
