Comment (by johnbillion):

 My patch doesn't fix anything. I misunderstood `is_main_site()` (thanks
 nacin).

 It seems there's some logic in `wp_update_plugins()` which should be in
 `_maybe_update_plugins()` instead. It's not possible to force a check for
 plugin updates (same goes for themes).

 This means plugin and theme update checks are inconsistent with core
 update checks. I would expect `wp_update_plugins()` to work the same as
 `wp_version_check()`, in that it fires off an update check whenever it's
 called. The logic should be left to the `_maybe_update_*` functions.
