 I recently noticed with a plugin of mine, that if you change the name of
 the main file in a version update, i.e.:

 `plugin-name/plugin-name.php` => `plugin-name/different-name.php`

 the plugin becomes inactive after the update. This was not the case prior
 to Shiny Updates and is still an issue in trunk. I installed 4.1.x just to
 be sure.

 Steps to reproduce:
 1. Put plugin on .org repo
 2. Install/activate plugin on a site.
 3. Change the name of the main file in svn and commit it with a version
 bump.
 4. Update the plugin with Shiny Updates.
