This issue originates upstream in ROS2 -- there's some discussion about it in this ament_cmake issue. It sounds like it'll require fixes across several core packages to resolve.

Ok, there is apparently nothing to do on our end. Discussion is continued in colcon/colcon-core#454 and ament/ament_cmake#382
