Please don't bother to answer, I did figure it out, I'm sorry, for a bad
question and worse followup.  Apparently I'm a spammer as well.

Apparently the error was caused by something else besides plugins in
my configuration.  After carefully running --initialize from scratch
and modifying my.ini I was able to get mysqld.exe up and running just
fine on Windows 64 for MySQL 8.0 RC.  After that mysql_upgrade worked
a treat.  I did have a couple issues since it was my first time *NOT*
using --initialize_insecure in this configuration but it all works if
you do it right.  As per usual.

Sorry for the noise here,
