Comment:

 @afragen, thanks for your persistence! Your suggestion will in fact work
 nicely, with just a small modification.
 There's no need to reinstantiate WP_Plugins_List_Table, but we can simply
 reuse the existing global variable that is already available:
 So, instead of
 {{{
 $wp_list_table = _get_list_table( 'WP_Plugins_List_Table' );
 }}}
 this line will do:
 {{{
 global $wp_list_table;
 }}}

 This does not suffer from the duplicated class instantiation and the
 involved computational cost but allows retrieving that column count number
 from inside the action hook handler -- so no need for passing that as a
 parameter anymore :-)

 I'll resolve this as "worksforme", as we found a suitable solution (which
 even is an optimization for your plugin). Thanks for working on this with
 me!
