This list seems not to be really active and I did not receive any help since I posted this one week ago. BTW this issue has been open on Mantis more than 3 months ago and seems still to be open! So is there really anybody trying to help on cmake??
If the developers were out monitoring every bug-reporting list in the universe (such as ITK), there probably wouldn't be any support. To answer your question: yes you should post it to the CMake bug reporting tool if you want the CMake people to know about it.

If the bug is that mission critical to you, there is always the option of downloading the source, fixing the bug, and submitting a patch to the CMake developers.

Otherwise - I'd love to know what significantly-cross-platform open source projects you've been working on where bug fixes have such a rapid turnaround. I've seen fairly critical bug tickets for Ubuntu, GDM, Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice and GCC for years. MySQL has had several fatal crash bugs open for 2+ years, and their response to a major bug introduced by Prepared Statements was, after a year of people complaining about it, to remove the default auto-connection behavior to "sort of make it go away".

Thus far, I've gotten better support out of the CMake developers than I have from several commercial software providers, including Intel.
