 Replying to [comment:8 SergeyBiryukov]:
 > [attachment:20944.patch] is an attempt to check if the plugin file name
 was changed and reactivate it on the fly when visiting the Plugins
 screen...

 Not sure whether we should be reactivating renamed plugins automatically.
 Renaming a plugin from FTP is a good way to (temporarily) disable it if
 the user suspects any problems. Renaming it back activates the plugin
 again. That's also the only way to disable a plugin that throws a fatal
 error.
