Comment(by eddiemoya):

 Replying to [comment:26 westi]:
 > Plugins aren't included in wp-activate because it has {{{define(
 "WP_INSTALLING", true );}}} at the top and we don't include plugins while
 installing.

 That is correct, and we figured out that removing that WP_INSTALLING
 allows the inclusion of plugin function. They are necessary because some
 themes depend on plugin functions to generate parts of the header/footer,
 which wp-activate pulls in.

 The only thing I am not certain of is what the negative effects of
 removing that constant are. It was put there for a reason, and taking it
 out must have some effect. I will do some testing but perhaps someone else
 already knows the answer. Some discussions elsewhere lead my to presume
 that its removal will negatively effect the activation process itself
 somehow.
