Maybe CINEMA sometimes gives an empty id variable.
Have you tried to print its value at the beginning of GetDEnabling()?

I had tried performing a check, with:

if id is None: return

But the error still appears.

This is probably a long shot. But since you're stuck maybe it's worth trying.
Take a look at this example code and how the [] brackets are used for the returns.
And return the super class instead of returning True.

#This is an example how to hide or grey out a userdata entry in a plugin's GetDEnabling() method  
  
def GetDEnabling(self, node, id, t_data, flags, itemdesc) :  
  
  if (id[0].id == MY_SPLINE_ID) :  
      return node[MY_CHECKBOX_ID] == 1  
  else:  
      return c4d.plugins.NodeData.GetDEnabling(self, node, id, t_data, flags, itemdesc)

Maybe it's picky about these things?

The error message indicates something different. This exception is also raised if you try to access
a CustomDataType from a BaseContainer which can not be represented in Python. What sorts
of Parameters are in the description of your plugin? What is the exact line the error is raised at?

I tried it and it still returns that error.
I also tried the following:

def GetDEnabling(self, node, id, t_data, flags, itemdesc) :

return c4d.plugins.NodeData.GetDEnabling(self, node, id, t_data, flags, itemdesc)

So, it returns right after entering the method. And the error still happens.

And I also tried:

def GetDEnabling(self, node, id, t_data, flags, itemdesc) :

return True

And the error still happens.

I don't know what is line where the error is raised. It does not show up in the Console. Only the sentence:

AttributeError: Parameter value not accessible
AttributeError: Parameter value not accessible
AttributeError: Parameter value not accessible

Yes, three times, each time the object is created or the document is refreshed.
What do you mean by parameters in the description? The parameters in the plugins.RegisterPlugin command?

I started removing sections of the description with each restart of Cinema until I found what caused the
issue. It is the BITMAPBUTTON GUIs that cause the exception in the parent call of GetDEnabling().

Unfortunately, even if you remove your bitmap buttons, it sometimes fails with a TypeError:

Traceback (most recent call last) :
  File "'test.pyp'", line 8, in GetDEnabling
TypeError: argument 5

Which is also a known issue of R14 and was fixed in R15. See https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/6533/7047_getdenabling-typeerror-on-parentcall

As a workaround for this issue (and the original if you want to keep your BITMAPBUTTONs) , you can
use a try-catch block.

    def GetDEnabling(self, *args, **kwargs) :
        # ...
        try:
            return c4d.plugins.ObjectData.GetDEnabling(self, *args, **kwargs)
        except TypeError:
            return True
