Right, I want to disable one or more hostgroups while preserving the
inherited list.

I have requested '-' as an enhancement.
I'm not sure how I could use "hostgroups actuallocation,
!mainlocation", though. My thought was that I'd have a hostgroup
'unlocated' with membership consisting of all hosts not in any of our
location hostgroups. This would make it straightforward to find hosts
without a specified location and add an appropriate location hostgroup
to each.
Thanks,
