Comment:

 This is actually a simple fix if I'm correctly understanding what's
 happening in `update-core.php`. We just need to check that the package URL
 is for a WordPress Directory plugin or the UI doesn't load because of a
 `continue` when `plugins_api` returns a WP error. In some implementations
 like the Github Updater, the slug being filtered is actually different
 than `$plugin_data->update->slug`. It also includes the plugin file name.
 So the response doesn't get filtered and the code is allowed to run
 thinking it's a WP directory plugin, even though it's not.
