But MSVC works differently. vcregress.pl does a TempInstall(), which
is a simple Install(), so isn't it going to be an issue for the tests

Yes, the renaming makes sense. I'd say to do more, and also rename
uri-regress, removing the hyphen from the binary name and prefix both
binaries with a "pg_".
