As a quick followup, this was an embarrasing mistake on my part. CMake does read the correct registry. If the compiler it detects is 32-bit, it reads the 32-bit registry, if the compiler is 64-bit is reads the 64-bit registry. I was intending to compile 64-bit, but had two versions of MinGW on my system, and I hadn't noticed that CMake was picking up the 32-bit MinGW, so it was correctly looking in the 32-bit registry, and correctly not finding 64-bit Python in there.
The patch in my original post is not necessary, as FindPythonLibs works just fine. Sorry for the confusion.
