[cmake-developers] Problems with CMake-master and OBJECT libraries

Hey guys,

Recently I've started porting internal KDevelop libraries to OBJECT libraries.
The CMake code I've written seems to work fine with v2.8.12.2 (what I have on 
my system, locally) but apparently fails with recent CMake-master (which is 
installed on the KDE CI).

The error I get on the CI [1] is:

"""
CMake Internal Error (please report a bug):
  Missing cmGeneratorTarget instance!


CMake Error at /srv/jenkins/install/linux/x86_64/g++/latest-
qt4/kde/kdelibs/inst/share/apps/cmake/modules/KDE4Macros.cmake:1010 
(add_executable):
  Error evaluating generator expression:

    $<TARGET_OBJECTS:kdevclangcodecompletion>

  Objects of target "kdevclangcodecompletion" referenced but no such target
  exists.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /srv/jenkins/install/linux/x86_64/g++/latest-
qt4/kde/kdelibs/inst/share/apps/cmake/modules/KDE4Macros.cmake:862 
(kde4_add_executable)
  tests/CMakeLists.txt:24 (kde4_add_unit_test)
"""

The relevant code is here: [2]

I see that there was some discussion wrt this on the cmake ML, [3], but 
actually I lack the CMake foo in order to understand this discussion's 
implications. At any rate, I don't think the above behavior is intended, is 
it?
