To me that looks like a bug. Does anyone know why it was made that way ?

Nope.  INSTALLBIN used to be that way, too, when I picked up MakeMaker.

   * Added new INSTALL targets:
       INSTALLSITEBIN
       INSTALLSITEMAN1DIR   INSTALLSITEMAN3DIR
       INSTALLVENDORMAN1DIR INSTALLVENDORMAN3DIR
       INSTALLVENDORBIN INSTALLVENDORLIB INSTALLVENDORARCH
       SITEPREFIX VENDORPREFIX

I think I didn't do INSTALLSCRIPT at the same time because I was lazy and the 
implementation was significantly nastier back then.


Here a patch to fix this.
Of course, it's not backwards-compatible, but it's more correct.
Any objections from the MakeMaker side ?

Why do you feel its not backwards compatible?
