Comment:

 On Multisite, new plugins can only be installed via `wp-admin/network
 /plugin-install.php`, not `wp-admin/plugin-install.php`. That's why
 `wp_ajax_install_plugin()` uses `network_admin_url()`. Importers are
 installed on `wp-admin/import.php` though, so that assumption breaks.

 Replacing the URL in the JavaScript is not a good idea as it only treats
 the symptom, not the cause.

 We could solve this by passing `pagenow` in the Ajax request and change
 the URL depending on that, like we already do with
 `wp_ajax_search_install_plugins()`.
