Comment (by mensmaximus):

 After some more investigation I can definitely say passing `true` to
 `do_action( "activate_{$plugin}" );` in plugins.php line 166 solves the
 described problem.

 The question now is how can we determine whether the plugin activation was
 started on the network admin screen? `is_network_admin()` is not working
 in case `error_scrape` because `WP_NETWORK_ADMIN` is not defined and
 `$GLOBALS['current_screen']->in_admin( 'network' )` is empty. I even tried
 to pass `is_network_admin()` as an argument to `$iframe_url` in `/wp-
 admin/plugins.php` line 438.
