[CMake] Visual Studio 2012 Beta: unable to compile individual files

Has anyone tried the Visual Studio 2012 beta with CMake's "Visual
Studio 11" generator? I've tried with several projects, and even a
simple project that just contains main.cpp has the same problem:
compiling a single file does not work. Instead, I get this in the
output window:

1>Error: Cannot build selected files.

This seems to be because the paths to source files are absolute in the
CMake-generated project file. If I use Visual Studio's project wizard
to create a new project, the paths are relative, since the vcxproj and
the source files are in the same directory. Changing the
project-wizard-generated file to use absolute paths results in the
same error.

Any thoughts? Should I file a bug with Microsoft?

Thanks,
Ben
