Sigh. Again, why the heck does it run the tests if it didn't meet the

If I had to guess, it might be a bad interaction between CPAN,
Module::Install and your use of auto_install.

The version of CPAN that David Cantrell uses predates the addition of
the "PERL5_CPANPLUS_IS_RUNNING" environment variable that recent
Module::Install releases use to avoid recursion and let CPAN handle
installation of dependencies.

(And yes, the latest CPAN.pm sets PERL5_CPANPLUS_IS_RUNNING -- and
also PERL5_CPAN_IS_RUNNING, but CPANPLUS only sets the former.  All
this to play nice with Module::Install and auto install.)
