Will Plugin Exception policy Abort stop a user being able to login to the user interface if the plugin fails to deploy?

Yes.

In fact as of 7.2.1, services we ship with - the REST API, and Plugin Scheduler will also fail to start (with an event log entry made describing the problem).

Cool, but what happens if a plugin with Abort throws an unhandled exception during execution i.e. not at startup in a service or the ui client but when running?

Then it behaves the same no matter the exception policy.

The exception policy only has an impact when attempting to compile and/or load the plugin as part of the Manager.Logon method.
