Maybe I didn't build a clean build as I thought, or did things the
wrong way... Regardless, in-tree build works at least.

I guess you're right. The Linux kernel is probably one of the last
bastions where in-tree builds actually works better than out-of-tree
builds, which probably translate into an expectation that LTP works
best with in-tree builds. It's just such a pain with all those derived
files mixed with versioned ones, which I guess is why you want
out-of-tree builds to work as well.
