Better make that
for arg in "$@"; do
	echo -- "$arg" >> /tmp/debug.$$
done
so you get each argument exactly as the program sees it. Each arg will 
be on its own line.

To run the plugin without mangling any of the arguments, do
plugin "$@"
The quotation marks are essential. Without them, arguments are broken at 
spaces within arguments (if any).
