Description:
When installing a plugin, using the 'Install Plugin' menu option under 'Tools'
Workbench copies the selected plugin 
and reports:

'Copied module /Users/tilman/Desktop/SymfonyYmlExport.grt.lua to '/Users/tilman/Library/Application Support/MySQL/Workbench/modules/SymfonyYmlExport.grt.lua'
Please restart Workbench for the change to take effect.'

Upon restart, the Workbench application crashes.

The application can only be restarted properly by
manually removing the installed file from above specified directory.

How to repeat:
- Get a plugin. (e.g. SymfonyYmlExport.grt.lua or tablechecksgrt.lua from the workbench website)
- install with Workbench 
- quit application and restart.

This bug has been fixed.

Tested with this:
http://trac.symfony-project.org/wiki/SymfonyYamlMyqlWorkbenchPlugin

fix confirmed - will be included in 5.1.10 beta

An entry was added to the 5.1.10 changelog:

When a plugin was installed using the Tools, Install Plugin/Module File... menu option, Workbench copied the selected plugin and reported:

'Copied module /Users/tilman/Desktop/SymfonyYmlExport.grt.lua to
'/Users/tilman/Library/Application Support/MySQL/Workbench/modules/SymfonyYmlExport.grt.lua'
Please restart Workbench for the change to take effect.'

When restarted, Workbench crashed. Workbench could only be fully restarted by first removing the installed file from the modules directory.
