Comment (by dd32):

 This sounds like it was caused by a file directly in WP_PLUGIN_DIR called
 'plugin-install.php'.

 The WordPress admin menu has some weird code in there, that I honestly
 don't know how much would still be used:
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/menu-header.php#L151

 Put basically, If a $file is provided in a menu registration, it first
 checks to see if that exists in the plugins directory, and if it does,
 redirects it to the $parent?page=$file on the parent, If the file doesn't
 exist, it directs it to /$file
