I could not reproduce this problem, using a slightly different OMakefile:

--------
USE_OCAMLFIND = true

section
         PROGRAM=main_target
         FILES=main_target
         OCAMLPACKS=expat
         .DEFAULT: $(OCamlProgram $(PROGRAM),$(FILES))

section
         PROGRAM=main_target_test
         FILES=main_target main_target_test
         OCAMLPACKS=oUnit
         .DEFAULT: $(OCamlProgram $(PROGRAM),$(FILES))
---------

I removed the "main_target:" and "main_target_test:" (which as 
essentially no-ops in your OMakefile) and explicitly added the two 
programs to the .DEFAULT target (so that I do not have to use some other 
mechanism to tell OMake to build them).
