You will need a new build of CMake to fix this problem.

Brad just merged some changes to our 'next' branch today to address this
issue.

If you can build CMake from source, you can try it out right now if you
checkout the 'next' branch and build it.

If not, you could wait till tomorrow morning, and there will hopefully be a
nightly build available that you can download and try.

Or, if it's not urgent, and you can wait till next week: we have
tentatively scheduled our first release candidate for CMake 2.8.10 for next
Wednesday, 9/26/2012.


HTH,
David
