It might, but due to the fact that I don't actually use the $admin variable, I don't know if I need to change the code.
I don't really see how changing the variable name would help in solving the original problem, though. I just tested the new plugin with some slight alterations and it works.
I cba to "remake" it into your "customadminperms" format so Ill just give it like I use it:

PHP Code:

global $rpgpermissions;

if (!isset($admin))
{
    // this is not vBulletin 3.5.4+
    $admin = $getperms;
}

if (isset($admin['rpgadminperms']))
{
    $rpgpermissions = $admin['rpgadminperms'];
}

if (!isset($rpgpermissions))
{
    // must get our perms
    $getperms = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
        SELECT *
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "administrator
        WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']
    ); 
    
    $rpgpermissions = $getperms['rpgadminperms'];
}

foreach ($do AS $field)
{
    if ($rpgpermissions  & $vbulletin->bf_misc_rpgadminperms["$field"])
    {
        $return_value = true;
    }
} 


Tested to work on 3.5.3 and 3.5.4.
I think that's a pretty efficient way of doing it, as it only runs 1 additional query for ONE admin (out of the ~10 I tested it on, non-superadmins that is).
So yeah, tis odd, but meh =P
