I also encountered this a lot with #5543.
This generally happens if
set_property(TARGET <targetname> APPEND PROPERTY INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES ${<packagename>_LIBRARIES})
is used and
${<packagename>_LIBRARIES} contains the debug/optimized keyword. (Keywords only work in target_link_libraries calls!)
By scanning all dependencies

optimized.lib D:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\lib\OpenThreads.lib debug.lib D:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\debug\lib\OpenThreadsd.lib

this is the offending one. So the error is wherever OpenThreads is added to the link dependency.

I think I fixed this issue in #7672. you may try it.
