Iit should work, it's tested daily on a lot of platforms:
http://www.cmake.org/Testing/Dashboard/MostRecentResults-Nightly/Dashboard.html

But apparently it doesn't for you.

I guess you followed these instructions:

"Windows
...
In order to build CMake from a source tree, you must first install the latest 
binary version of CMake because it is used for building the source tree. Once 
the binary is installed, run it on CMake as you would any other project. 
Typically this means selecting CMake as the Source directory and then 
selecting a binary directory for the resulting executables."

Did you try also using CMakeSetup from the start menu ?

I don't know exactly what you mean with "own system headers", but I don't see 
a reason why it shouldn't work.
