What do you mean with "disabled"? Do you mean the error messages or is the plugin actually somehow automatically set to unpublished?
In any case, your error message says that you only have 8MB of memory for your PHP process available and that is simply way to little. You will need maybe 64MB and I would say that commonly you would have that set to 256MB on a normal host. The problem is not the emailcloak plugin, but the hosting with way to little memory.

The plugin actually gets automatically disabled.
I cant see how a php memory issue can change a value in a mysql database
Indeed, disabling the plugin is not a core feature of Joomla...

@Hackwar Are you sure? This page tells that plugins are automatically disabled if they throw an error in their initialization: https://docs.joomla.org/Why_are_my_plugins_automatically_disabling
Yes, I am sure, since that code is not in the PluginHelper and it was the code which was removed again in 1.5.18. Or in other words: This was introduced in 1.5.17 and removed in 1.5.18 again, since it was completely impractical.

I've looked into this again and we definitely don't have a mechanism to disable plugins on failure. Since your original issue is pretty much entirely due to not enough memory on your host, I'm closing this issue.
the php put of memory error is probably the most unhelpful and confusing error message as it is usually not telling you what is causing the memory usage it is only telling you what was the last thing it fell over on.
