 As must-use plugins/dropins are automatically active, the expected
 behaviour for ''is_plugin_active()'' would be to return ''true''. In
 reality it returns ''false''.

 Easy enough to reproduce and test - just add a plugin to the must-use
 directory and test with:
 {{{
 if( is_plugin_active( 'plugin-name.php' ) ) {
         echo 'plugin is active';
 }
 else {
         echo 'plugin does not seem to be active';
 }
 }}}

 Hope this helps
