Indeed! Implemented and pushed upstream:

https://github.com/mcgrof/compat/commit/42faf2dc8d8bbbdc5b8913183fcd021a27e953c9

So if you run into this issue all you have to do now is run:

./bin/get-compat-kernels -r

New users of the script will automatically have this run after it
downloads and installs the kernel headers.

Case closed, thanks :)
