Same here, sourcecodebrowser plugin worked on 13.04, no longer works on 13.10. When I start gedit from cmdline I get the same error as OP upon attempting to enable the plugin. Seems to be a similar issue with many gedit plugins, but apparently all with different solutions. Many have recommended editing the .plugin file and changing Loader=python to Loader=python3, which seems to get us past the "could not find loader" problem, but still doesn't work:
