Comment(by nacin):

 That's basically what's going on now. We also just happen to store the
 callback info.

 Again, if we change behavior, then we break any plugin that registers an
 uninstall hook on an activation hook, which is currently proper behavior.
 We'd then be reversing that, and forcing plugins to register uninstall
 hooks in global scope.

 scribu has a workaround in #12754 that, while I don't think needs to go
 into core, seems like a way to do exactly what you're trying to do here.
