Had a discussion with Robert about this on IRC. We agreed that it's not necessary to have an "install" notice on admin/index.php like the one we have for upgrades. That's because upgrading is a more urgent matter than installing (since potentially it's fixing important bugs), whereas it's okay to procrastinate on installing.

On the other hand, I think it's a fairly common user experience to drag in the plugin and then just expect it to work, without realizing you need to go to the extensions page (at least, this happens to me a lot). So we agreed it would be a good idea to put a warning/notice on admin/index.php that says "There are uninstalled plugins." and has a link to the extensions page.
