Yup, and those are specifically documented. What gives me doubt is  
this from the same page --

"Regular expressions can be used in any of the fields used in the  
examples below (host names, hostgroup names, service names, and  
servicegroup names)".

note that 'hostgroup_members names' is not specifically mentioned.

Diving into the code, this appears to be handled around line 9154  
(both above and below) of xodtemplate.c. I don't see any tests for  
regexp_matches so I'm about 80% confident this just doesn't work for  
hostgroup_members. My code reading-fu may be weak though. I am  
assuming that the OP did have regexp matching enabled when testing.
