Does anybody else have this issue? I reported it in Launchpad but I don't think Kovid was able to replicate it.

This is not "an issue". An information message from JS telling you something is clearly intentional.
Calibre has a standard protocol for shutting down plugins, which Job Spy uses to keep track of whether Calibre was shut down gracefully (properly).
Turning off the OS while Calibre is still running is not "graceful".
Since several of the JS GUI Tools dig deep into the guts of Calibre via monkey-patching, it is conceivable that a future version of Calibre will break one or more of those JS GUI Tools such that Calibre would not be able to start up without first deactivating said Tool. Hence, JS automatically deactivates those few Tools if Calibre was not gracefully shut down the previous time so that both you know something went wrong, and Calibre starts normally with no issues.
Your intentionally making the OS kill Calibre is included in "something went wrong" as far as a few GUI Tools are concerned.
You can either exit Calibre properly, or quit using that particular JS GUI Tool you are using that complains. Your choice.
