The problem is that all of Data::Dumper's attributes are package-scoped
globals, so when you pass options to the Dumper plugin you are modifying
$Data::Dumper::Indent, $Data::Dumper::Pad, and so on.  It would be
possible to re-work the Dumper plugin to store those options locally,
and apply them before calling Dumper, but it is not setup that way
currently.
