They are not installed because you are looking in the wrong CMakeLists.txt

src/context/CmakeLists.txt contains this:

# base plasma not compiled under windows, so we need to install these here
if(WIN32)
install(FILES
    plasma/servicetypes/plasma-animator.desktop
    plasma/servicetypes/plasma-applet.desktop
    plasma/servicetypes/plasma-dataengine.desktop
    plasma/servicetypes/plasma-runner.desktop
    plasma/servicetypes/plasma-scriptengine.desktop
    DESTINATION ${SERVICETYPES_INSTALL_DIR})
endif(WIN32)

The CMakeLists.txt file in src/context/plasma is not used when building Amarok.
