Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Hi there, welcome back to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 Something to consider when looking into this is that the "Add New" string
 is used in the admin menu for  most of the WordPress entities and data
 types:
 {{{
 _x( 'Add New', 'file' )
 _x( 'Add New', 'link' )
 _x( 'Add New', 'post' )
 _x( 'Add New', 'page' )
 _x( 'Add New', 'plugin' )
 _x( 'Add New', 'site' )
 _x( 'Add New', 'theme' )
 _x( 'Add New', 'user' )
 }}}
 There are also a few more strings, which are not displayed in the admin
 menu by default as far as I can tell, but follow the same pattern:
 {{{
 _x( 'Add New', 'add new media' )
 _x( 'Add New', 'Customize Changeset' )
 _x( 'Add New', 'Reusable block' )
 _x( 'Add New', 'Template' )
 _x( 'Add New', 'Template Part' )
 _x( 'Add New', 'Navigation Menu' )
 }}}

 So it seems like changing `_x( 'Add New', 'plugin' )` to something else
 would make it inconsistent with the other admin menu items.
