ok, sorry. Yes, this was stupid.
In fact I have the problem with my real project, which has of course the install rules
in the cmake files.

I now found a way to reproduce the problem.
Use the example from above and include the install() rule.

Then do:

cd build
cmake ..
=> install/strip targets are there
rm CMakeCache.txt
cmake ..
=> NO install/strip targets,  but only the other install targets
