Because you should have some local modification in the source tree.
Try:
ctest -V -R CMake.CheckSourceTree

and you'll possibly get an explanation like:
232: additions='0'
232: conflicts='0'
232: modifications='0'
232: nonadditions='1'
...
232: CMake Error at CheckSourceTreeTest.cmake:422 (message):
232:   test fails: local source tree non-additions: use git add before
committing,
232:   or remove the files from the source tree

I think this should not happen, normally CPack generators that cannot
handle space in build tree (like CPackRPM) should be filtered out.

In order to know the culprit same method applies here:
ctest -V -R "^CPackComponents$"

(you can do ctest -V -R CPackComponents
 but you'll get more tests)
