Yes, I believe this happened, because you've run the test suite in the
build tree. I mean, if you simply build and install - it'll work.
If you build, test, and then try to install - you'll get an error.
mysql-test/var directory is created for tests, and if you delete it
you'll be able to install just fine.

I consider it a bug, mysql-test/var directory shouldn't break 'make install'.
If you'd like, you can try to fix it :)
