Hi Kristian -
there are no comaptibility changes in python-fu from gimp-2.2 to gimp-2.4
You should watch the output of GIMP to the terminal to see if any errors (like a syntax error due to a missplaced punctiation character) is happening. Otherwise, as you see no "python" or "python-fu" entrie son you rmenus at all - it looks like you simply don-ṫ have gimp-python installed for your new gimp. (If ther eis no python-fu entry under your "xtns" menu on the toolbox, then it is really not there)
If you are on Linux, just look for a package named "gimp-python" or similar. 
That said, an easy way to find out plug-ins when you don't know where in the menus they are, is to use the "plug-in browser" (which on 2.4 lives on the "Xtns" menu).
