Bad/bizarre behavior with NI Choral plugin (Mac)

This is a small thing, but took some futzing around to figure it out, maybe this will save someone some time.

I rarely use chorus plugins, but for some reason, I added the NI Choral plug to a track in a session - after realizing why I rarely use chorus, disabled it, but didn't remove it.  

Needed to add something to the session, duplicated that (audio) track, tried to add InTune (the stock PT strobe tuner) at the end of the insert chain so I could tune up - not in the "Other" plugin list.  Opened up another session, InTune is there, commenced troubleshooting.

I finally realized that if I tried to install InTune *before* Choral in the insert chain, it was in the list.  *After* - it's as if it doesn't exist.  I get that Choral is a pitch shifter, etc., but if it's disabled/bypassed, it shouldn't affect the operation of other plugs.

So, Choral is now in the not used folder.  And in case someone has a beef with NI, I use tons of their other stuff with no problem.
