I'm seeing this too on Ubuntu 12.04 in Chromium 17.0.963.65 with version 1.6.3; 
even with just "localhost" in the no-proxy list.

The plugin appears to run this when enabling a proxy with just 
SOCKS=localhost:1080 defined:

/bin/bash /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s /system/http_proxy/use_same_proxy false 
--type=bool
/bin/bash /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s /system/http_proxy/host  --type=string
/bin/bash /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s /system/proxy/secure_host  --type=string
/bin/bash /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s /system/proxy/ftp_host  --type=string
/bin/bash /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s /system/proxy/socks_host localhost 
--type=string
/bin/bash /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s /system/proxy/socks_port 1080 --type=int
/bin/bash /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s /system/http_proxy/ignore_hosts [localhost] 
--type=list --list-type=string
/bin/bash /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s /system/proxy/autoconfig_url 
file:///home/chris/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions/caehdcpeofiiigpdhbabnible
mipncjj/1.6.3_0/plugins/SwitchySocks.pac?1331076314376ins/ --type=string
/bin/bash /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy false 
--type=bool
/bin/bash /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s /system/proxy/mode auto� --type=string

This gives the console output:

No value to set for key: `/system/http_proxy/host'
No value to set for key: `/system/proxy/secure_host'
No value to set for key: `/system/proxy/ftp_host'
Error while parsing options: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input.
Run '/usr/bin/real-gconftool-2 --help' to see a full list of available command 
line options.
