Ah, found what was causing this (use WITH_INSTALL_PORTABLE=OFF to get 
back previous behaviour)

Changed paths:
    M /trunk/blender/CMakeLists.txt
    M /trunk/blender/source/creator/CMakeLists.txt

CMake: Linux/Unix Only,
use 'install' target rather then copying files with post-build commands.

Main change is that you need to run 'make install', which copies files 
to ./bin by default
unless WITH_INSTALL_PORTABLE is OFF, where CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is used 
for a typical unix-system install.
