Anyone know what's wrong?
Nothing is really "wrong": there just isn't a version of desktop_full released for Melodic. The fact that the installation instructions won't work yet is also clearly stated at the top of the ROS Melodic installation instructions page:
CAUTION: Release of this distribution is pending.
ROS Melodic Morenia has not been fully released yet, so these instructions will not entirely work.
Trying to build this from source is not going to change it: rosinstall_generator won't be able to find a desktop_full package (as it can only build packages that have been released).
To install Melodic packages, you can check status_page/ros_melodic_default.html to see which packages have been released (this page is also linked from the Melodic install page, under section Build farm status). See status_page/blocked_releases_melodic.html to see why something hasn't/can't be released into Melodic yet.
Is there any other way to currently install and test ros-melodic without building from source?
Yes: install individual packages for now.
