The behavior is now documented: https://github.com/AArnott/CodeGeneration.Roslyn/wiki/Features#codegenerationattributeattribute

Snippet:

A member annotated with an attribute (that in turn was annotated with CodeGenerationAttributeAttribute) is recognized by the Engine; the type of code generator is read from attribute's CodeGenerationAttributeAttribute constructor parameter. This is either typeof(x) expression which requires code generator to live in the same assembly as the generator, or a string constant containing fully qualified type name, e.g. CodeGeneration.Roslyn.Tests.Generators.EmptyPartialGenerator, CodeGeneration.Roslyn.Tests.Generators. If you omit the assembly name (after comma), it'll resolve to the same assembly as the one in which the attribute itself was declared.
