enable_environment_macros should override use_large_installation_tweaks, 
which is what can also disable environment macros.  Perhaps your version 
is not acting as suspected?  See if you have u_l_i_t enabled, and if so, 
try disabling it.

If that isn't it, try setting debug_level=2 (and debug_file, etc).  
Restart and check the debug output to see if it's actually seeing the 
config directive.  Perhaps you have a typo.

Then maybe set debug_level=32 and run a few notification tests (or just 
set it to 34 initially so you get notification and configuration 
debugging)...

Also, consider upgrading.  Nagios 3.2+ is great.
