[CMake] test property COST not working in cmake 2.8.3?

I use set_tests_properties (... COST -500) to force my code coverage
checks to run after all the unit tests have run. This has stopped
working and I'm reasonably confident that the only thing that changed
was an upgrade from cmake 2.8.0 or 2.8.1 to 2.8.3.

I couldn't find anything in the bug tracker or in the release notes
suggesting that COST or test properties were changed in 2.8.3.

I'm still getting lines like this in my generated CTestTestfile.cmake:

    SET_TESTS_PROPERTIES(rs_exerciser_2dgrid PROPERTIES  COST "-500" FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION "TP_EXERCISER_FAIL")

and the FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION property seems to be working just fine.


I've included a small repro case below. This looks like a regression. Should I
open a bug?

Thanks,
tyler
