Comment (by rmccue):

 I suspect this could be a WP-CLI problem. Relevant PR over there is
 [1019](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/1019).

 > Only got two of them though, and only on subsequent upgrades to the
 current nightly build, not on the initial one.

 My guess: on first load, `wp_register_plugin_realpath` doesn't exist (or
 WP-CLI doesn't realise it does), so the plugin paths never get loaded. On
 second load, the files have been updated. Still not sure how that would
 occur, but something along those lines could explain it.
