The point is that it is the directory name and not the primary that
determines which install-* target to use.

For instance, what about pkgdata_SCRIPTS?
This is a valid use.  But it should be installed by install-data.
What about sysconf_DATA?  This is another one.

Sure.  Try adding sysconf_DATA and then checking that it is installed
by install-exec.

This is a new failure, since this feature has worked for a long time.
