Doesn't seem to be the case from what I can tell. In the same vein, the second effect doesn't work when I use a +1 ability on a planeswalker. I don't get the extra loyalty counter(s).
WotC messed this one up not us. ETB counters are doubled, those of the +1 ability do not (because it's a cost).
Just curious where did you get that tidbit about it "being a cost"?
Doubling Season's text says any counter or token and doesn't mention anything about costs. Also, I'm unable to find any rulings on
Doubling Season to indicate this interpretation.

I'm also unable to find any rulings on planeswalkers that indicate this either.

I kept expecting my
Doubling Season to double the loyalty counters on my
Nissa Revane when I used her abilities but it never did - I assumed it was a bug or incompletely supported card. Now I'm going "whaat?".
And just out of annoyance - the "Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs," as important as it may be, is really tiresome to someone trying to substantiate their question with source material. This is the 10th time I've tried submitting this question. I'm really starting to feel unwelcome. Do you know I can't even preview my post if there's anything resembling a URL in it? And the "Do not automatically parse URLs" option doesn't help. Oh well, you can sort out the source links yourselves.
