I'm wondering whether questions related to PCB CAD software (such as EAGLE) are on-topic. Questions could relate to best practices, BOM generation, proper CAM export, etc.

Yes. According to our faq help center:
We feel the best Electronics Design questions have a schematic, links to pertinent datasheets or some source code in them, but if your question generally covers …
- a specific electronics design problem
- the theory and simulation of electromagnetic forces
- a communication scheme
- the writing of firmware for bare-metal or RTOS applications
Yours is a specific electronics design problem.

\$\begingroup\$ The question I have in mind relates to the specific problem of BOM generation with Eagle, actually. So it's more of a meta electronics design problem that's rather specific to Eagle. My feeling is that this is somewhat off-topic, but seeing that BOM export from Eagle is both widely need and badly implemented, I was thinking it may still make sense to ask. \$\endgroup\$– abeyJun 7, 2013 at 15:05

\$\begingroup\$ @abey no, that doesn't matter. If you're doing something useful for an EE, it's on topic here. At least that's a good rule of thumb. \$\endgroup\$– user17592Jun 7, 2013 at 16:09
