Description:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/charset-server.html says:

"Both mysqld and configure verify that the character set/collation combination is valid. If not, each program displays an error message and terminates."

And configure does indeed do that:

./configure --with-charset=latin1 --with-collation=utf8_bin
...

checking "character sets"... configure: error: 
      Collation utf8_bin is not valid for character set latin1.

CMake, however, allows incompatible settings:

cmake . -DDEFAULT_CHARSET=latin1 -DDEFAULT_COLLATION=utf8_bin

(no error is produced)

How to repeat:
See above.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described. To get error with configure one should export HAVE_CMAKE=no

I got the error with configure by using the mysql-5.1 tree.
