Why make an installer. Some Linux users can manually compile
and install a program? Just UTSL :)

Keep in mind that you would get a _binary_, not source code!!!

That's surprisingly close to the truth. ;-)

Why not a source code release of the Beta?
Surely some more bugs would be found/fixed that way.

For the eighteen-zillionth time: because a source code release would defeat
the purpose of having beta versions stop working after a specific time.

Sure. And some people would begin to write patches right away,
against buggy code. And some other would remove the time-limit
of the beta, and distribute the resulting buggy program. And
more people would come and complain to the POV-Team.
I was not very happy about that when I first heard it, but
the above arguments have convinced me that, sadly, this is the
only way to go right now.
There'll be probably more bugs found once the beta is over and
the source available, and we'll then have 3.5a, ..., 3.5g.
Once again, this was addressed several times in povray.beta-test.
Perhaps a "Linux beta" page should indeed be put up, containing
such FAQs.

So those of us who use non-Linux unices won't be able to *beta-test*
povray.
Sad but true. See my answer to PoD post.
