I managed to solve this. The problem was with the negate timeout option:

Options:
  -t, --timeout=INTEGER
    Terminate test if timeout limit is exceeded (default: 9)
     [keep this less than the plugin timeout to retain CRITICAL status]

If I interpret this correctly I have to set the timeout higher than the
wrapped plugin timeout. check_ping defaults to timeout 10, and negate
defaults to timeout 9. I modified check-host-not-alive to look like
this:

define command {
     command_name    check-host-not-alive
     command_line    $USER1$/negate -t15 "$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1"
}

and it seems to work.
