I am using CMake in my project, but am using the CMake build of boost so that I am NOT using FindBoost.cmake.

I think that you are right regarding the behavior of FindBoost.cmake.  But my issue is with the BoostConfig.cmake that is installed with the CMake boost build system.

This is a recipe for disaster. If you are on MinGW/MSYS/Cygwin then I have no Idea what the "correct" solution is.
