I set up a new instance on a different machine for testing.

One issue I found seems to be 
https://github.com/Kitware/CDash/blob/master/install.php#L114
which in my case resulted in 'database "cdash" does not exist'.

I think it tries the "cdash" database here because no database name was 
given and "cdash" happens to be the name of my database user; I assume 
it was working for you because in your case there was an existing 
database with the name of your user(?)

pdo_select_db("$CDASH_DB_NAME") seems to help in my case but I don't 
know if that is the correct fix.

On a somewhat related note the "install" test seems to falsely pass when 
using a user without database creation privileges:
   test 1
       Start 1: install

   1: Test command: /usr/bin/php 
"/var/www/html/CDash/tests/singletest.php" 
"/var/www/html/CDash/tests/test_install.php"
   1: Test timeout computed to be: 1500
   1: /var/www/html/CDash/tests/test_install.php
   1: All Tests
   1: Error connecting to host postgres database.
   1: Tried names 'host' and 'postgres'
   1: Error connecting to host postgres database.
   1: Tried names 'host' and 'postgres'
   1: Error File: /var/www/html/CDash/tests/test_install.php on line: 
34: error query(CREATE DATABASE)
   1/1 Test #1: install ..........................   Passed    0.08 sec

   The following tests passed:
       install
