I think it works as expected:
INSTALL_PATH ending in /boot gets the kernel installed to $INSTALL_PATH and
headers installed to $INSTALL_PATH/../usr
INSTALL_PATH not ending in /boot gets the kernel install to $INSTALL_PATH/boot
and headers installed to $INSTALL_PATH/usr

With your patch, the behaviour in the second case would change such that
the kernel is at $INSTALL_PATH and headers in $INSTALL_PATH/usr, which is
rather odd!?
