Yes, it compiles both .h and .o files as separate object files.

cmake version 2.8.8, on OS X 10.7, installed via MacPorts

Sorry, yes – this seems to be a fairly minimal test case (create some 
arbitrary test.c/test.h files to run):

---
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)

set(TEST_SRC test.c test.h)
set_source_files_properties(${TEST_SRC} PROPERTIES LANGUAGE CXX)

add_library(test ${TEST_SRC})
---

Oh well, RTFM 
(http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cmake.html#prop_sf:LANGUAGE): 
 »Do not set this for header or files that should not be compiled. « I 
guess we have been relying on unspecified behavior all the time, then.

Anyway, thanks for your quick response,
David
