Probably this original author did not want a lib prefix on his module. 
Maybe this will get you closer to where you want to be:

modulesdir = $(libexecdir)/MyFavoritePackage
modules_LTLIBRARIES = musewidgetsplugin.la
musewidgetsplugin_la_SOURCES = musewidgetsplugin.c
musewidgetsplugin_la_CPPFLAGS = -no-undefined -export-symbols-regex ".*" 
-shared -module -avoid-version
musewidgetsplugin_la_LDFLAGS = -shared -module -avoid-version
musewidgetsplugin_la_LIBADD =

Some fixes/editing are surely required.
