Are you sure $HOSTADDRESS:somehost$ is implemented in the current
release of Nagios? Actually I'm not really sure but I think it's a
Nagios 3 feature. Did you try to replace $HOSTADDRESS:somehost$ by the
actual host address?

I use macros in host and service extinfo but I assign them in templates.
Maybe if you try:

define hostextinfo {
    name sometemplate
    notes_url
http://$USER15$@$HOSTADDRESS:somehost$:$USER17$/isa/bin/summary.p
l?env=some_ids_inst
    register 0
}

define hostextinfo {
    ...
    use sometemplate
}
