Single-File Plugins Not Recognized by Add New Screen

Description
I often drop single-file plugins into my plugins directories for testing, or for simple convenience. The fancy "Add New" screen in 4.0 doesn't seem to recognize that they are installed, and gives me the "Install Now" button for those plugins.
I know the workaround is to not use the single-file method of installation, but this seems buggy.

- Focuses administration added
- Version 4.0 → 2.8
I don't think this is any change from the plugin installer from 2.8, either. Same underlying code.

Confirmed.
Replying to ocean90:
I'm confused. How can you see a single-file plugin on the Add New screen?
Go to Add Plugins screen, search for Hello Dolly, note the Install Now button.
I know that the issue exists on the regular Plugins screen in the details modal for example with Hello Dolly. But that's not new.
Well, the details modal is new (#17902), but the issue indeed is not, reproduced in 2.8.

Replying to SergeyBiryukov:
Yeah, I know that. I was irritated by "I often drop single-file plugins into my plugins directories".
install_plugin_install_status() seems to be the culprit.

Ah that's true. Something about the new GUI made it more obvious I guess.

I don't think this is a bug as such...
If you go to the 'add new' plugin screen and add hello dolly, you will end up with 2 copies.
This is a little confusing. But this isn't a bug - its just the way WP identifies plugins. It considers them 2 separate plugins.
However - would it make more sense if the copy of hello dolly bundled with WP was in a directory - so that it would not cause this duplication?
