The cache is telling you:

If you want the help string from your sources to appear in the
CMakeCache.txt, then don't specify a value for it on the command line...
Delete the cache, and try again without giving the arg on the command
line, and it should pick up the doc string from the source.

It works when you omit the type.
set(FOO "value" CACHE STRING "my docstring")
-DFOO=BAR <- the value is "BAR" but the doc string and type are
initialized by the set()
-DFOO:STRING=BAR <- the doc string and type are not updated by the set()
