Some more comments after digging around some more:

And we probably want to have some standard location, so all we really need to
fill in is the instancename.

Yeah, Jared seems very set on making sure plugins are not enabled by
accident... ;-)

An alternative approach could be to have a separate script like
koha-plugins-enable that creates the dirs only when they are actually needed.
But putting it in koha-create-dirs is probably a lot less work...

As far as I can tell, the problem is that the new plugins/ dir we have in the
repository is not mentioned in Makefile.PL. I wonder if this will result in the
same problem Im seeing on a standard install?

I got the paths slightly wrong. This is the URL from Plugins in the More menu,
which gives me a 404:

/cgi-bin/koha/plugins/plugins-home.pl

As Kyle pointed out there is another problem too:

5) The Alias /plugin/ ... stuff is missing from the Apache configs installed by
the packages.
