"make install" (to someplace other than where I put my "system" emacs)
is my friend here.
Also, bisection on the bzr trunk[1] is usually quite precise about
identifying when a bug was introduced. It's often slower in clock
time (has to rebuild every tested version), but it can be quite
automated so a much lower burden on the developer's attention in many
cases.
Once again, I think you are the unusual developer here. You'll have
to judge how important preserving your practices is, but I doubt
you have much company. The practices I mention above require very
little developer effort once they become habit. Again, the cost of
changing your workflow is something you have to judge for yourself.
Footnotes:
[1] I thought bzr had a bisect command, but "bzr help bisect" comes
up nil. Somebody must have a helper script or plugin, or you can roll
your own easily enough.
