We don't auto-update the po files with msgmerge in upstream intltool's automake rules either. We leave it up to maintainers to decide when that should happen. We made that decision a very long time ago, and there has never been a need to re-introduce the automatic updating.
Any cmake integration for intltool should provide the same level of functionality as upstream (and ideally, this stuff will end up upstream, once I figure out how to deal with the file conflict issue).
