I have updated syslinux in Parted Magic's test version to the 5.10 release.
With 4.06 I booted plop like this:

LINUX /boot/plpbt/plpbt.bin

Now it says /boot/plpbt/plpbt.bin... ok
Booting kernel failed: Invalid argument

Other "extras" like IPXE, HDT, memtest86+, chntpw, Super Grub Disk,
etc...
all work with 5.10. Revert to 4.06 and plop works again.

Is this a problem with syslinux or plop?
