installer requires elevated privileges?

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Not a bug. The installer always had the following set in the manifest:
requestedExecutionLevel level="highestAvailable"
This means that Windows will show an UAC prompt when the user has admin rights. The main reason is that the default install directory is now under "Program Files".
For normal users, UAC will only be requested when necessary.
