Are the .t files really the same as the .pl files but with embedded tests?

You can write your tests in any language you want. Parrot's .t files use quite a mixture of languages.

    I think some versions of Test::Harness assume perl, they invoke "perl foo.t" rather than "foo.t".

    Your point stands though, the assumption is that a .t file will generate something like TAP. How it does it shouldn't matter.

      Some do, but we file bugs when we notice that, and the latest versions of Test::Harness and TAP::Parser work just fine with Parrot, even on .t files that don't start with a shebang.
