Or replace ExtUtils::Manifest with something that doesn't use the 
filesystem as its primary API?

Or, dirty hacks:

  my $orig = \&ExtUtils::Manifest::maniskip;
  local *ExtUtils::Manifest::maniskip = sub {
    my $stock = $orig->();
    return sub {
      my $what = shift;
      return 1 if $stock->($what);
      return 1 if $what =~ m/MYMETA\.yml/;
      # or whatever ...
      0;
    }
  };
