As Rolf said above, apparently it does.

Indeed, it sets PNG_LIBRARY to the path of libpng, and PNG_LIBRARIES to the 2
required libraries (libpng and libz), both with full path. There would be no
problem if that data ended up in the linker command.

Yes, the variable contains the correct 2 paths.

Because at the end of the day that doesn't matter : CMake must generate
Makefiles that work, and thus has to work around known issues or peculiarities
in the compilers it support. That could be through hardwired exceptions, but in
this case could also be by providing a way to disable rewriting those library
specifications.
Maybe there is, I haven't yet found any documentation whatsoever about the
conditions under which CMake will (supposedly) replace a /path/to/libfoo.so
libspec with -lfoo .

No. It contains -lpng -lz but no -L flag. See the more specific discussion in
cmake-devel ("FindPNG.cmake doesn't return a LIBRARY_DIR variable").
