Moving the 2CAN plugin after the UserProgram fixed this error and allowed the plugin to load.
The plugin needs to be loaded before the user program so that when the user program tries to use the CANJaguar class it won't get an error about the plugin not being loaded. The plugin definitely needs to not depend on WPILib entry-points.
