It happens when the .inl file has the same name as another source other 
than the extension.  This is a well-known problem with 2.4.3 and was 
created by the fix to another bug in 2.4.2.  It will be fixed in the 
upcoming 2.4.4 release.  You can work around the problem by doing

SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(myfile.inl PROPERTIES HEADER_FILE_ONLY 1)

After 2.4.4 is out this work-around will not be necessary.
