install from drush fails due to hidden dependency

If you try to install imagecache using drush enable imagecache, you'll notice this error:var_export(debug_backtrace());

The following modules will be enabled: imagecache
Do you really want to continue? (y/n): ImageCache was enabled successfully. [ok]

This show that imagecache_presets() is invoked during the install process, at a step where the {imagecache_preset} table has not yet been created.

Debugging it shows that it is actually triggered from imagecache_form_system_modules_alter(), which is itself invoked by the drupal_execute() in Drush on the system modules form, right before imagecache_install() runs and creates the table.
