Yes. It does because when the Qt Frameworks are copied over (QtGui.framework) the "Resources" directory that is contained in that framework is now also copied. Not sure when that started happening but I now vaguely remember something being mentioned.

I deduced pretty quick that Kitware can't be using Cocoa with Qt because of the OS X 10.4 deployment target. (Qt MUST use Carbon to go back that far). I would have thought someone would have been trying out CMake with Cocoa in all those tests but I was obviously wrong. Well now that it seems fixed you can re-close the bug.
