I'd call that a bug.  Would you be so kind as to file it in the bug tracker?
http://www.cmake.org/Bug

I looked in the script where a lot of the CMake Useful Variables come from.
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables/Get_Variables_From_CMake_Dashboards
I found:

CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX
CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES
CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES
CMAKE_IMPORT_LIBRARY_PREFIX
CMAKE_IMPORT_LIBRARY_SUFFIX
CMAKE_LINK_LIBRARY_SUFFIX
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX
CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_PREFIX
CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_SUFFIX
CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_PREFIX
CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_SUFFIX

I will throw these up on the wiki and document them to the best of my
understanding.  I think CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX does what you
want.
