How does AEM 6 keep track of which package files in the crx-quickstart/install folder have already been installed?
I've seen this: How to install CRX packages automatically on server startup but that only seems to tell me that CQ5 tracked them with properties files and I can't find any for AEM 6.

AEM knows which package has been installed.
The CRX application includes a directory named crx-quickstart/repository/install
that can be used for installing CRX packages automatically on CRX application startup. This feature is called the CRX Auto Installer. Packages that are copied to this folder will be installed in alphabetical order.
CRX Auto Installer controls this behavior. The exact detail on how it performs this task is handled at the code level and not information that will go into a doc.

The files are managed via OSGI using a pretty complex mechanism (I stopped trying to understand it).
You can find the code here: [Apache-SVN] Index of /sling/trunk/installer/providers/file

Ok, sounds like it is not as simple as 'it keeps a list of them here'.
