I'm not totally sure but I believe that's actually a feature to avoid all
services notifying OKs when the host goes back up. Why is that a problem?

If you're trying to figure out the status of service by parsing the logs,
then a better way of doing it would be to use the Nagios::StatusLog Perl
module to parse information from the Nagios status log.
