Does it work in the NMake Makefiles generator?

The mapping of this property to IDE project file attributes may be missing.

Indeed, The NMake does write the image version! The two dumpbin output of the executable headers are attached.

The generated NMake makefile build rules know how to write the version because the Modules/Platform/cl.cmake file tells CMake to use the /version:... option on the link line. The equivalent of this in the IDE project files is to write a <Version>...</Version> XML element at the proper point in the project file format. The change will probably go in cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator::OutputBuildTool and cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::WriteLinkOptions where they write the linker tool options.
