First, does anyone know why something like this would happen? And secondly, I read somewhere that all .py scripts need to go in the 'plugin' folder. Really? Is this a requirement or just a recommendation?
More than a couple of things.
A plug-in either something.py or something.exe and any associated something.dll goes in your Gimp profile plug-ins folder.
For users that do not know where that is, find the exact location using Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Plug-ins.
Using a portable version, makes this location variable, but I installed Partha Gimp 2.9.6 portable under C:\ and it looks like this.

Next one:
The smooth-path plug-in is not python something.py it is a compiled plug-in something.exe
The plugin you get from http://registry.gimp.org/node/20069 is 32 bit and Gimp 2.9.x is strictly 64 bit. However I have one of those in my archive. It is attached as a zip file, remember to un-zip it.
Goes in the plugins folder as smooth-path-64.exe https://i.imgur.com/1pLl3rw.jpg
Just to show it still works:
Right click in the paths dialogue to bring up the context menu -> at the bottom click smooth path -> brings up the settings.

Works and pops up a info message https://i.imgur.com/cvgPZ8V.jpg
Want to suppress those messages, add --pdb-compat-mode=on at the end of the launcher (if you made one) https://i.imgur.com/7DKob4h.jpg
