So the problem is that CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH is a list and in the case above a 
subdir is appended to it.
This has to be fixed in FindFoo.cmake script, something like this (not tested, 
syntax may be incorrect):

set(allIncDirs)
foreach(incDir ${CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH})
   set(allIncDirs ${allIncDirs} ${incDir}/libxml2)
endforeach(incDir ${CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH})

find_path(... ${allIncDirs} ...)

Bye
