15907	inconsistent handling of plugin_folder in get_plugins()	wpmuguru		"If you pass the name of a folder to get_plugins, it needs to have a leading slash which then stores the plugin list from that folder in {{{$wp_plugins['/folder-name']}}}. 

Secondly, the plugin file/path does not include folder-name passed to get_plugins, so the returned data has to have the {{{'folder-name/'}}} added to the key of each plugin's information before it can be used throughout WP. The code I'm currently using to work around the issue is

{{{
			$my_plugins = get_plugins( '/extra' );
			$extra = array();
			if( !empty( $my_plugins ) ) {
				foreach( $my_plugins as $k => $v )
					$extra['extra/' . $k] = $v;
			}
}}}
