Comment (by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 > to determine why this check [on `'install.php'` rather than `'/wp-
 admin/install.php'`] is there to begin with

 It's probably to avoid infinite redirects to install.php itself back in
 the days. Back in WP 1.5, neither `theme-install.php` nor `plugin-
 install.php` existed, so checking for `install.php` in the URL was good
 enough.
