Patrick, I suggest if you can reduce your problem down to a small, reproducible example, then file a bug. I did a test just now with CMake 3.5.2 and everything behaved as expected, including the header search path propagation, so maybe there's something unusual in your project which a simple case doesn't capture. Perhaps also try different generator types in case that results in something different (unlikely, but since you see different behaviour to me, give it a go).
