 Could it be handled in this [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/632a634ab415b4ac6a0b0cdd99ff9bbba8bbb376/src/wp-
 includes/load.php#L1028-L1037 block of code] so it's only caught if the
 file does not exist?

 Alternatively, if plugins that have been deactivated due to a missing file
 are stored in an option somewhere, the upgrade routine could check for
 that and enable the relocated plugin that way.
