Plus! doesn't download the pages of chat logs from other people, at all. The messages come in through Messenger, all logging is done locally.

If you manage to download files from other people's "my documents" folder then those people do indeed have a security problem. A big one. But not one caused by Messenger Plus! It is the user's responsibility to keep his system secure. Plus! chat logs won't be the only sensitive thing stored in the my documents folder.

Good luck on warning the developers of each and every of the many thousands of applications which store private information on the user's my documents folder (where they belong) too.
