What is the current behavior?

This is a case that has hit me in the head a couple of times where MU-plugins are not loaded as expected.

What is the expected or desired behavior?

Mu-plugins are not loaded on remote server

I'm not entirely sure how to replicate this reliably. But the workflow goes roughly like this.

1. Setup a new site for local development.
2. Install plugins (affected plugin in my case is ACF).
3. Develop site / Update plugins etc
4. Move ACF from plugin to mu-plugin
5. Finish site
6. Move to staging/production server and deploy site.
7. Move development DB to remote server.

Please provide use cases for changing the current behavior:

On the local DB

SELECT option_value from wp_options WHERE option_name = 'bedrock_autoloader';

a:2:{s:7:"plugins";a:1:{s:34:"advanced-custom-fields-pro/acf.php";a:11:{s:4:"Name";s:26:"Advanced Custom Fields PRO";s:9:"PluginURI";s:37:"https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/";s:7:"Version";s:5:"5.7.3";s:11:"Description";s:69:"Customise WordPress with powerful, professional and intuitive fields.";s:6:"Author";s:13:"Elliot Condon";s:9:"AuthorURI";s:28:"http://www.elliotcondon.com/";s:10:"TextDomain";s:3:"acf";s:10:"DomainPath";s:5:"/lang";s:7:"Network";b:0;s:5:"Title";s:26:"Advanced Custom Fields PRO";s:10:"AuthorName";s:13:"Elliot Condon";}}s:5:"count";i:1;}

After deploying site and exporting DB to remove server I got error that ACF was not active

SELECT option_value from wp_options WHERE option_name = 'bedrock_autoloader';

a:2:{s:7:"plugins";a:0:{}s:5:"count";i:0;}

Sorry this is a bedrock issue and I was going to make a PR fixing it when I realized I created the issue in wrong project...
