This works for me now after upgrading to 2.0rc1 (I believe it didn't
in 2.0b4), and that is great! But this resulted in another problem
with defining the hostgroups in template-hosts only:

# cf template host (based on another global template)
define host {
use linux-host
name linux-host-cf
hostgroups cf-servers
contact_groups cf-core
register 0
}

# cf-servers - host group definition
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name cf-servers
alias cf-servers
}

# cf-app1 - application server #1
define host {
use linux-host-cf
host_name cf-app1
alias cf-app1
hostgroups cf-appservers
address 10.0.0.21
}

[a lot of hosts]

# diffhost - last host based on linux-host-cf template
define host {
use linux-host-cf
host_name diffhost
alias diffhost
address 10.0.0.43
}

The wierd thing is that diffhost is the only host showing up
(webinterface) in the cf-servers hostgroup, and I also get warnings
during the configtest about the other hosts having no services
associated with them (I specify a ping-service to the cf-servers
hostgroup).
