I found the solution in the end - I knew that for GIMP V2.99.x plugins have to go into subfolders - I hadn't realised that the name of the subfolder has to be exactly the same as the (in this case) Python script file name (without the extension) - if this is not the case then the script doesn't appear in the menus or the PDB.
It looks as though there might be an exception to this using a metadata xml file since the Goat exercises do this - this then allows for having more than one plugin in a subfolder. However, I couldn't find the right form of words to edit this file so that I could have different names for the subfolder and Python script (no real need to do this - just for interest).
So now I can get on with porting the few Python scripts that I use.
(This means, of course, that it is possible to run user defined Python scripts in V2.99.4 flatpak - everything that is needed for this is present)
