This is due to a typo in your script:

COPY_ONLY should be
COPYONLY

The trouble is CMake is silently ignoring the misspelled option.
Try the attach cmake script using.

cmake -P configure_it.cmake

Confirmed. This is not the first time such bugs occur to me... it would be great if cmake could be made more robust against such errors...

I am backlogging this one, unless somebody wants to work on it...
