It does work for pull requests. See for instance

Oh okay, sorry, I didn't realise $TRAVIS_BRANCH was the target branch for pull requests. It still doesn't work for other branches though, which would be an issue for me as that's where I rely on travis.

You mean for other clones? If you have your own Travis account you can add the clone to your account and get the same testing run there.

I was referring to Peter's script which uses $TRAVIS_BRANCH for the super project. In my modules, I just use a stable release, but if I wanted a new version of a dependency, I'd do what Andrey suggested, and use a specific version of the super project (i.e. a tag or a commit's hash) rather than a branch.
