Comment:

 First I think what you actually mean is "But if you '''prohibit'''
 installing plugins with f.e. with add_cap("install_plugins", FALSE) ..."
 is this correct?

 Then "wp-admin/plugin-install.php" is only for installing new plugins
 which "install_plugins" is the right capability for. "wp-
 admin/plugins.php" on the other hand only checks for
 "current_user_can('activate_plugins')" so I think this is all fine.

 If not, can you please clarify your issue?
