Comment(by scribu):

 > Now we have one of the plugin_ functions working in this case and the
 others don't.

 Please provide an example.

 > Also how are these plugins going to interact with the built-in upgrader.

 > I think it would be better not to introduce this filter as it isn't
 really a solution and there are better ways to support sharing plugins
 across multiple WP installs.

 I assume you're referring to #15134

 This filter isn't useful only for that. For example, with it, I'm able to
 have svn/my-plugin/trunk symlinked to plugins/my-plugin and have
 activation hooks work.
