This is intentional.
The tendency, when using check_PROGRAMS, is to not build the tests until "make distcheck" is run. By making it part of the regular build process, any breakage caused by changes in libtransmission is automatically found sooner, before checkin.
I agree that this is a subjective judgement call, but it's an intentional one.

Please reconsider this bug.
We are stuck with carrying this patch in Gentoo Linux and autoreconfiguring the package for each and every user, everytime, when installing transmission to avoid building unwanted tests.
As in, please think of the end users.
