Comment:

 Most of these inconsistencies are (more or less) edge cases and happen
 only when a plugin is installed or updated directly, either using FTP or
 version control. A plugin with unmet requirements cannot be installed or
 updated through the WP UI as the API of the plugins repository on wp.org
 simply skips incompatible plugins.

 Nevertheless thinking that the plugins API in WP should be fixed to behave
 consistently in these edge cases. The same behaviour should probably be
 implemented for plugin dependencies and in all other similar cases.
