How are you calling CPack? This does not look like a standard CPack message...

Debian Squeeze 64bit
CMake 2.8.6
NSIS v2.46-6

works here but not with a cross-compiled package
which does not make a lot of sense but from CPack point of view
there is not so much difference between packaging native or
cross-compiled files.

could you try

cpack --debug -G NSIS

in the build tree and see what happen.

May be trying CMake 2.8.6 or even 2.8.7rc1 would be better.
