I don't see #2 as necessarily being /more/ correct; the author has [presumably] tested with the packages installed in the current Perl library path. Putting potentially [untested] newer releases into the bundle strikes me as a good way to beg/borrow trouble.
On the other hand, if the disttest target made sure that _only_ the ./inc modules were used during the testing, that would strike me as a belt and suspenders arrangement. There are sadly more than a few important/useful modules on CPAN with hidden dependencies that this kind of test will shine the harsh light of day on quickly...
