Comment (by mordauk):

 I've just tested and confirmed the patch to work. Steps I took:

 1. Created test plugin:

 {{{
 <?php
 /*
  * Plugin Name: Network Only Test Plugin
  */

 // Just a test plugin for network activation only
 }}}

 2. Activated the plugin on a site in the network

 3. Added the `Network: true` header:
 {{{
 <?php
 /*
  * Plugin Name: Network Only Test Plugin
  * Network: true
  */

 // Just a test plugin for network activation only
 }}}

 4. Uploaded the modified version (imitating a plugin update)

 5. The plugin remained visible and active on the site it was activated on
 in 1.

 6. Deactivated the plugin and it immediately disappeared, as expected for
 a Network only plugin.
