Comment (by bheadrick):

 I'm doing this locally in a VVV instance, so not exactly FTP, but I copied
 the files from one site instance to another.

 permissions does sound like a plausible cause, although this same process
 never failed me before this last update.

 I'm not really good at reading permissions in anything other than octal,
 so I went up a directory and ran this to be sure:

 chmod -R 777 plugins

 and refreshed the plugins page - there is only 1 plugin listed as being
 installed.

 I didn't have hello dolly or akismet in the plugins folder, but when I
 copied those in, they showed up in the plugins page immediately
 afterwards.
