I think this is a know (already reported) bug which has been fixed
in the CVS version of CMake:
see
http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/cmake/2007-June/014735.html

However, I did not find a corresponding bug entry in the tracker.

This is a Wiki so you may (after checking like you did)
modifiy the page yourself.

Since you are on windows you may want to try
a nightly build of CMake CVS version:

http://www.cmake.org/files/vCVS/

It should properly handle 7zip (I think I already used it).
(However THIS IS NOT a CMake VERSION just a development snapshot).
