Exactly. Either the function returns an empty list, which means load any
plugin. Or it returns a list of plugin names. This is just a default
though, the user can still go to Settings->Configure <app>->Plugins and
select some that are disabled by default.

So they're not in the list of loaded plugins you return from
defaultPlugins? At least disabling them manually seems to work (with
kdevelop 4.0) here, they don't show up on next start.

If its about first start in a new session the logic of that piece of code
is kinda complicated as it merges the existing info about enabled/disabled
plugins with the list of default plugins. Possibly something is wrong
there, the code in question is kdevplatform/shell/plugincontroller.cpp in
PluginController::initialize().
