You are right the documentation should be enhanced, may be no one
did have time to do it [yet].
You may now enhance the part you know :-)

I would say that shouldn't be used for the zip generator unless you effectively
install absolute path file. RPM generator needs it though.
You may try to only set it to ON in the UNIX case.

In order to better understand what happen I think we need an example
of INSTALL(.... ) command used in your CMakeLists.txt with the associated
path you find for this example in the zip file.
