GitExtensions.PluginManager.dll v3.1.1.265 is incompatible with GE v6

[mstv]

The Plugin Manager does not appear in the Plugins menu.
This blocks the release of GE v6.

Both GitExtensions.PluginManager.dll v3.0.0.230 and v3.1.0.259 are able to start the Package Manager v3.1.1.265.

The size of the DLL is suspicious:

When updating to 6.0.1, the executable (but not dll) in
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\GitExtensions\UserPlugins\GitExtensions.PluginManager\PackageManager
was removed.
It was added again after installing 6.0.2 (unsigned).

PluginManager is not shown in GE in the 6.0.2 build but in the custom build (with .net10 as well).

When building locally, I cannot reproduce, in 6.0.2 PM do not appear.
However, I once got the message improved in #12219 (this occurrence was .net10, similar in .net9)

Anyone that can reproduce in the debugger?

Ignore that PluginManager in the menu and release 6.0 anyway?
PM can be started from the install path.
