I agree that this does not meet the principle of least surprise.
world-bin ought to build every bit of C code we have.

In itself that observation doesn't bother me: I don't think the
conventions in the Meson world are identical to those for makefiles.
We've long expected that contrib is not included in the default
make target, and it makes sense to me for src/test/modules to work
like contrib for this purpose.
