Comment (by zenithcity):

 There's a ticket I opened concerning this issue on fixing WordPress (but
 didn't know this one exists).

 Here's a comment I pinned on the ticket:

 **Looking at the activation process in WP, defining the WP_INSTALLING
 constant is useful, but it's important that other operations are not
 treated irregulary just to comform to an instance (such as installation)
 that is currently running.**

 **Beside the main site setup for the first time, site installation
 thereafter should not be breaking load processes just because we need to
 bail the installation instance**
