That is clear.

Patch is welcomed I'll test it.
Would you be kind enough to open a bug for this on the bug tracker:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug

and attach the patch to the tracker, that way CMake developer may be able
to track the issue properly.

I think you should try to provide patch for CMake 2.6.x and may be
CMake 2.8.0-rcX
too because CMake 2.8.x is entering rc stage for which "minor" bug fixes may
still be included (I'm not deciding this though, just an opinon).

I'm not a CMake developer, I'm just contributing to CMake with CPackRPM
and maintaining some Wiki information about it:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#RPM_.28Unix_Only.29
I may help testing your patch too.

If you file the bug please, send at least one more message to the list which
points to the appropriate bug tracker link.
