This has always bothered me. Why is plugin_upgrade_foo in functions.inc? It 
should
be in the autoinstall.php file that only gets loaded by the installer code. 
There
are lots of ways this could be done in the future to avoid the COM_refresh. Not
that any of those methods are useful days before 1.8 goes live. Maybe the 
location
of functions within the plugins can be targeted for 1.9 (also needed for my 
comments
a few months ago about reducing Geeklog's memory footprint).
