Comment (by costdev):

 Additionally, there is also a removal of invalid plugins from the
 `plugin_data` option done in `wp_get_active_and_valid_plugins()`. As this
 function runs during the bootstrap, I would also propose removing this
 cleanup from there. `get_plugins()` will effectively perform a cleanup
 anyway on its first call, and the cleanup can wait until that is triggered
 on a visit to the admin's `plugins.php` page.
