Well, I don't know how you draw the line between an incomplete
and broken environment, but here this seems very clearly the latter
to me: a typescript-language-server installation without typescript
is manifestly useless.  I don't know what happened to it, but my
local EMBA copy (cloned some months ago following the instructions
you pointed me to) has this:

root@59a84580aeb9:/checkout# apt search typescript
node-tslib/now 2.4.1-1 all [installed,local]
  Implementation of tslib for javascript

node-typescript/now 4.9.5+ds1-2 all [installed,local]
  TypeScript is a language for application scale JavaScript development

In it, the javascript Eglot tests pass without a problem.  So something
regressed in this environment somehow, no?

Hope you're not misunderstanding here.  This test will be skipped
once you (or someone) deletes the defective typescript-language-server
installation.  We will lose a signal, but that's life.  I don't have
plans for changes to eglot-tests: I think the code is fine as is.
