:)  Yeah it looks like a bug to me.
The culprit is in CMakeCPack.cmake where it sets 
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY.

That registry key is patch version specific, while the default install 
directory is minor version specific.  So overwriting a previous install will 
still create a new set of registry keys, and a new entry in Add/Remove 
programs.
