There is an exception to R38 that states : "Wires that are recommended by the device manufacturer or originally attached to legal devices are considered part of the device and by default legal. Such wires are exempt from R38."
So the way I read the rule, a cim may be used in a 40A breaker, assuming all of the wire leading to the motor is 12AWG, not including the stock pigtails.
