Comment (by kraftner):

 The problem currently is that the plugin information tab is sitting on top
 of {{{wp-admin/plugin-install.php}}} and therefore "inherits" the
 requirements for plugin installation. To change this a pretty extensive
 rewrite of permission checking for wp-admin is necessary which
 unfortunately I couldn't wrap my hand around yet.
 So where we're actually being kicked out is the check with
 {{{user_can_access_admin_page()}}} at the end of {{{wp-
 admin/includes/menu.php}}
