That error is common to all the sources I mentioned.  I didn't mention  
some other errors that are also from plugingui.cpp:

/Users/Shared/src/qgis/qgis_1.0.0/mac/Qgis/../../src/plugins/ 
north_arrow/plugingui.cpp: In constructor  
'QgsNorthArrowPluginGui::QgsNorthArrowPluginGui(QWidget*, Qt::WFlags)':
/Users/Shared/src/qgis/qgis_1.0.0/mac/Qgis/../../src/plugins/ 
north_arrow/plugingui.cpp:24: error: 'setupUi' was not declared in  
this scope
/Users/Shared/src/qgis/qgis_1.0.0/mac/Qgis/../../src/plugins/ 
north_arrow/plugingui.cpp:26: error: 'tabNorthArrowOptions' was not  
declared in this scope

... and more

I figured these were just a byproduct of the first error, but they  
might help.  It's almost like ui_pluginguibase.h isn't getting  
included properly...

On a closer look, it would mean changing the context help setup.  They  
are just the body of html (and no .html file extension), qgis_help  
adds the <html> and <body> tags.  It also shows a help-not-found  
message.

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly  
what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly  
disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely  
inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has  
already happened.
