Comment (by KestutisIT):

 Just an additional suggestion to this is that we should have two hooks
 instead in the future, instead of playing with IF/ELSE statements,
 meaning:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 register_activation_hook(..);
 }}}
 which would be called only on local activations, doesn't matter if the
 site is based on multisite or not,

 and
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 register_network_activation_hook(..);
 }}}
 which would be called only after call from 'network plugins admin' with
 'network activate click'.

 That would make WordPress much more user friendly and developers would be
 able to write more cleaner and do make less bugs in the code.
