Comment (by gziolo):

 I tested whether the name of the block `namespace/slug` could potentially
 get detected by `file_exists` call when the same folder exists. In
 practice, it turns out it is impossible because `file_exists` expects a
 full path, test scenario used:

 {{{
 $this->assertTrue( file_exists( __DIR__ . '/my/plugin' ) );
 $this->assertFalse( file_exists( './my/plugin' ) );
 $this->assertFalse( file_exists( 'my/plugin' ) );
 }}}
