From the documentation of add_dependencies:

 "Dependencies added to an IMPORTED target are followed transitively in
  its place since the target itself does not build."

The dependencies of an IMPORTED target are only evaluated when a real target has a dependency on that imported target.

Actually this has nothing to do with an IMPORTED target. ALL dependencies on unknown targets are ignored. Closing as duplicate of 0009188.
