can I perform a memory check (with valgrind) in this case. Obviously by
executing 'ctest -D MemoryCheck' does run valgrind on the cmake program
itself and not on my test program. Does anybody has any suggestion?

Use --trace-children=yes  .  That is what we do when testing CMake which 
is called via make.   There are options that I added to valgrind that 
will tell it to stop tracing as well.  So, in our case we tell it not to 
trace gcc and beyond.
