The main reason that the default docroot is t/ is because things like logs/, conf/, etc are conveniently placed under t/. I'm not quite sure why do you think that most people will want to have the ../t as the serverroot. The only drawback of using t/ is in the need to adjust @INC, to include ../t.
Yes, I noticed this. . cannot be the serverroot because then, if the module maintainer created conf and htdocs directories, they would be indexed by the CPAN indexer, and that's a bad thing. If they're in t/, the indexer ignores them.
But I'm not saying that I want ../t to be the ServerRoot. I'm saying that traditionally, the distribution root was the cwd for the test scripts in t/. Those are two different things, though I can see the convenience of thinking of them the same. At any rate, if t/ remains the default cwd for the test scripts as they are run, that should be documented, as it varies from what the module author usually expects -- including from the behavior of the old Apache::test.
