No, in CMakeCache.txt I see

//No help, variable specified on the command line.
HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT:STRING="SVN"

Somehow, CMake got correct type there, but missed a description.
Running cmake --build . --config Release works as expected afterwards.

The latter, no, I've triple-checked.

The former, I don't know ;-) I'm using CMake for the first time ever, and
the project is not mine also. But searching for HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT
didn't suggest anything particularly suspicious.

Could cmake-gui be using a build directory other than the one you are

No, I've triple-checked.
