I did as you suggested and indeed, in CMakeCache.txt I now see

//Allow External Library Building (NO SVN TGZ)
HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT:STRING=NO

With option() instead of set(), it was

//Allow External Library Building (NO SVN TGZ)
HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT:BOOL=OFF

(incorrect).

However, in any case cmake-gui shows a checkbox, not a editbox/combobox.
So, it's likely a problem of cmake-gui.

Best wishes,
