Sounds to me like somebody ran cmake as root, and then ran it again as non-root... Choose non-root and be consistent. There's absolutely no reason to run cmake as root, ever. I don't think there's a CMake bug here, but if you can come up with steps to reproduce the problem without running CMake as root, then we'll investigate further.
