After re-reading your original question, I may have misunderstood, and 
you're wondering why

$CONTACTGROUPMEMBERS$ doesn't work.

See notes 5 and 7 on the page you linked. These macros work as on-demand-macros in event handlers, since event handler have no contacts associated with them.  To obtain a list of conatct group members in that contacts, you would also need to provide the name of the group.
