Comment(by filosofo):

 Replying to [comment:2 miqrogroove]:
 > It would be so easy to fix this.  function activate_plugin() calls
 ob_end_clean() without checking the buffer.  With an if statement a few
 lines above that, WordPress could assert wp_error is returned if the
 buffer isn't empty.  In effect, anyone who tries to activate a plugin that
 dirties the output stream will see a syntax error and the plugin will not
 activate.

 The problem is that often these errors creep in attached to action hooks
 that won't fire during activation.
