Did it ever ship with Fedora?

Yup, this has always been this way, virtio-win drivers are separate from
the spice agent and the qxl driver for mainly historical reasons.

Yup, that's why I'm building those guest tools installers in the first
place...

It would probably help if I sync the guest tools installer version number
with the virtio-win version number. It will probably be harder to do that
for qxl and the agent though.
