It appears, that if you just add the book directly to the "read" shelf, the date finished will not be accepted. From my testing, if I put the book on the currently-reading shelf and then put it on the read shelf, the date finished is accepted.
I've tried several combinations of shelving and reordering the API calls, but this seems to be it. And it agrees with what I have been seeing. When I start a book, I put it on the currently-reading shelve and the appropriate genre shelves I have. That means that when I do put it on the read shelf, the date read is accepted.
I'll have a bit more of a play, but, if this is how it works, I'm not sure if there is anything I can do. Or anything good. The workarounds I can think of are all a bit ugly and mean a lot of extra API calls.

If I have to add to the currently reading shelf for this to work again then it's really not worth my effort trying to catalogue my books on Goodreads.
I've never had to do this before so clearly something has been changed on the Goodreads site that is causing this glitch with the plugin.
Oh well, it was nice while it lasted but I don't think I will continue with it as I don't have the eye-sight or the patience to keep trying to see if it works.
The plugin seems to be fine for other users so it's up to you if you want to dabble more. Thanks for your response.
