Comment (by ReneHermi):

 A collegue just told me this behavior exist from the beginning and I
 assume it's caused by the zip folder structure where the plugin main
 folder name is the first folder of a plugin.zip.

 In that case I suggest adding a red colored plugin meta notice like this
 then:

 "You have renamed the plugin folder plugin-name/plugin-name.php to
 something else. Please rename it or this plugin will be disabled on next
 update."

 This could be realized by a simple check if the plugin slug exist as
 folder inside the wp-content/plugins/ folder and would not be an expensive
 check.
