I don't use escalations (or wildcards), but what you're trying to do is
specifically documented at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/templatetricks.html#serviceescala
tion

I _would_ say that use_regexp_matching really isn't enabled but if you
have other regexp directives that are working, that shoots that down. If
someone else can duplicate it you may have discovered a bug. Unusual,
but possible.
