Comment (by nacin):

 Themes only support nested folders when you explicitly register a new
 theme root. This is designed for plugins that package themes (with
 BuddyPress in mind when it was implemented). It definitely can't be
 without explicit registration of a plugin root (for it would suddenly find
 files it shouldn't have in existing plugins, introducing a backwards
 compatibility issue).

 I do understand why both multisite and mu-plugins do not fit what you are
 trying to do, but I'm still not convinced we'd need this.

 FWIW, there's a way to hide a plugin from plugins.php using the
 all_plugins hook. That might help you.
