 Perhaps a check to remind people to 'make install' like this?

Well, the whole point of "make test" is to be sure that it works before
installing it.

How about something completely different?

I still think testing another round after installing is good. But
that's not my aim. So Ack on your patch (at least the idea because I
have not used it yet).

No, I think that testing after installing is way too late.

BTW there was no sign-off on my patch (as well as no commit message), 
because it does not work on symbolic-link-challenged systems.  So it was 
purely meant as inspiration.
