Well after building the LV2 code the issue is clear - you do not have 
proper URIs for the plugins.
LV2 uses URIs to identify plugins, see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_resource_identifier

Making the LV2 URI a single plugin name is very wrong and against the spec.
If you don't have a domain you can use "urn:ambix:PLUGIN".
The URI doesn't have to exist on the internet, it's only used locally to 
identify the plugin.

After setting a proper LV2 URI the UI appears and works as usual [1].

In short, just change the broken JucePlugin_LV2URI macro in your 
AppConfig.h files for a real URI and it should work.
