Like all plants with the [GOOD] and [EVIL] tags, sun berries currently don't show up anywhere.
As a temporary workaround, why not delete all the [GOOD] and [EVIL] tags from "plant_standard.txt" and all the "plant_botany_xxxx.txt"? Then these bugged plants should show up. Although, they'd show up in biomes they're not supposed to...
You could replace the [GOOD] and [EVIL] with "" or empty space. Even better, you could replace them with !GOOD! and !EVIL! as placeholders that get ignored by the game.
Ouch, I didn't notice this bug. Your solution works for the time being until it's fixed. Is the grass bugged the same way, or only plants? Since they are different instances, I think they are unrelated, but it's still safer to ask .
Just did a quick test with tomi's version,
there are three shrubs with [GOOD] tag, crystal cane, sunberry and moonberry
generated a new world and embarked on 7x7 temperate joyous woods forest with two streams joining together (to satisfy [WET] plants)
and dfprospector gives me

surprisingly, glumprong and thorn shard appeared, but
not sliver barb, even though my embark satisfied all its requirements, just as the last one did for sunberry.
maybe there is just not enough space for them, maybe.
so to take it to the next level. new world, 12x12... oops crashed
same world... 10x10 warm/hot serene swamp with a stream
loads of moonberries and crystal canes.
not a trace of sunberry.
new world... 10x10 warm serene shrubland with two streams
scarce moonberries and many crystal canes,
no sunberry.
one more new world for good plants... 10x10 warm serene broadleaf/conifer forest with a brook
some moonberries and crystal canes,
no sunbbery.
evil plants
new world, 10x10 sinister(with little haunted) warm swamp with one stream
lol there is a cyclops 20 tiles away from my waggon
thorn shards and glumprongs,
no sliver barbnew world, 10x10 temperate sinister savanna/haunted shrubland with two streams
thorn shards and glumprongs,
no sliver barbnew world 10x10 tropical hot haunted forest with a stream
thorn shards and glumprongs,
no sliver barbi guess this renders the problem with only sunberry and sliver barb, rather than [GOOD] n' [EVIL] tag
and there are no (structural) differences between sunberry and moon berry in raw,
excpet sunberry has [EDIBLE_VERMIN] [EDIBLE_COOKED] under its seed section, if that matters its disappearance.
conclusion:
DARN you sunberry and sliver barb!
