Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 I doubt it'll get fixed anytime soon, personally. The update API reacts to
 the plugin's folder (or file stripped of .php, when in the plugins
 folder).

 I also imagine that wordpress.org/extend/plugins reacts to plugin-name
 /plugin-name.php and assumes there's a single plugin in that folder.

 This should probably be closed as invalid, or wontfix. There isn't much
 point in leaving it here to rot forever.
