I gave it a try and it seems you are right though I get a warning:
CMake Warning:
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
I assume in a proper run CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET is set by cmake -T and
then read from there by the visual studio generator when it initializes.
By adding this to the cache manually I guess it is available before the
generator is initialized as well.
Assuming that cmake -T does more than just set CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET
or may choose to communicate the toolset with the generator in a
different way in the future this may break sooner or later.
In CMakeLists.txt you can only set it after the generator has already
been initialized (e.g. too late) (?)

To clarify: I am using CMake 2.8.11-rc4. There is nothing new
toolset-related in the gui (as far as I can tell) but manually adding
entry does work and properly generates project with XP toolset set.

I may be missing something but I don't see an option to set this
in cmake-gui yet either.
As far as I understand it setting CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET by
manually adding it to the cache in cmake-gui should not work.
The only way to currently set it (as far as I can see) is by using
the -T option for the cmake command line client.

Oh, sorry it was "v110_xp" for cmake-gui of course too.
So there is no way to set it outside the gui?

I think the proper value for Platform Toolset is "v110_xp" so
"vs11_xp" shouldn't have worked.
You can see the legally available values when you open any
C++ project in Visual Studio and follow Project -> Properties
-> Configuration Properties -> General -> "Platform Toolset".
According to the documentation CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET is
supposed to be read to see the value that the user set with
the new -T cmake option rather than written to.
This is also collaborated by this issue report:

Hello,
I am trying to target Win XP from Visual Studio 11 (2012)
and I just tried new CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET variable with
vs11_xp value and it worked nicely.
Thing is, it only seems to work when it is added manually in
cmake-gui via "Add Entry" but not when I am adding
set(CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET v110_xp)
to the root CMakeLists.txt (tried also with "v110_xp" as was
not sure). I am new to CMake and probably missing something
obvious?
