No, it's not, but if you are setting up a new system and installing from a
package and wish to test Pyzor/Razor/DCC as you add and configure them it
can be disruptive to have to download source code simply to obtain a test
message.
But I would agree with your suggestion below:

Fair enough, although really this would have to be revamped
considerably. The old --lint did NOT contain any Received: headers, so
there wasn't any real testing of the DNS based network checks. I think a
good "second reason" why network tests were turned off in --lint is
because people actually thought it was a useful test for them. Other
than Razor/Pyzor/DCC, it's a pretty useless test case for network tests.
If SA adds a "--test", the message used should be reasonably complete,
and not a trivial dummy.
Yes, that would be ideal.
