 The issue is an extra $_GET parameter that is added in the
 `activate_plugin` function.

 {{{#!php
 <?PHP //wp-admin/includes/plugin.php:639
 $_GET['networkwide'] = 1;
 }}}

 In my case, I had been using the  `activate_plugin` function in the `mu-
 plugins` directory to protect some plugins against deactivation.

 As a result, this parameter had an impact on the OAuth authorization
 process in one of the plugins because this `networkwide` has been used to
 build the signature.

 I know the size of the potential impact is really small but in my opinion,
 this parameter should be unset at the end of the function.
