Unfortunately, this only works for single-configuration generators (Makefiles). If you're targetting Visual Studio as well, you're pretty much out of luck. I see this as one of the major issues with cmake.
A possible workaround is to move the target(s) in question to a separate CMakeLists.txt included via add_subdirectory(). Then, you can override the variable CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILE_FLAGS_DEBUG in that CMakeList.
