I don't believe this is in the true spirit of the GPL license. However, even by your definition above the public has the right to the source code only when the binary is available to the public. In such a case beta testers do not count as the public, they are part of the developemt/testing team. So perhaps they could demand the source but that does not mean they could distribute it themselves.
