Section A in section 3 of the LGPL is the out here for unity:
As long as there is prominent notice with the distribution of the plugin, unity doesn't need to distribute the source code.
You mean "3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files."? That section 3? I think they're using a bit more than just header files. Section 4 "Combined Works" is the one that applies here.
Also even if section 3 did apply they'd need to follow 3.b as well as 3.a and include the full text of both the GPL and the LGPL.
