But all that takes is adding a dependency to temp-install in
src/bin/pg_upgrade/Makefile's check target? Like many other regression
test? And the temp-install rule already honors NO_TEMP_INSTALL:

temp-install: | submake-generated-headers
ifndef NO_TEMP_INSTALL
ifneq ($(abs_top_builddir),)
ifeq ($(MAKELEVEL),0)
rm -rf '$(abs_top_builddir)'/tmp_install
$(MKDIR_P) '$(abs_top_builddir)'/tmp_install/log
$(MAKE) -C '$(top_builddir)' DESTDIR='$(abs_top_builddir)'/tmp_install install >'$(abs_top_builddir)'/tmp_install/log/install.log 2>&1
$(MAKE) -j1 $(if $(CHECKPREP_TOP),-C $(CHECKPREP_TOP),) checkprep >>'$(abs_top_builddir)'/tmp_install/log/install.log 2>&1
endif
endif
endif

I'm not saying that you shouldn't have added NO_TEMP_INSTALL support or
something, I'm confused as to why the support for custom installations
inside test.sh was retained.

Roughly like in the attached?
