(This is a non answer but shouldn't be a comment anyways)
Just because the release notes of BTCVB version 1.6 here say that it has been tested on 8.5 and that the example files are from 8.5 doesn't mean you cannot use version 8.8.
But upon further digging, I think you can use 8.6, but not 8.7 and 8.8. According to a message dated October 11 from @Thierry Nouidui on btcvb google group, there was a change in 8.7 in the way ERL variables are treated that appears to make it non compatible with BCVTB.
