This was resolved, the illegal macro char in nagios.cfg was the cause.

Thanks to Michael Alger:
Check your illegal_macro_output_chars setting in the main Nagios
configuration file. Since & is a shell metacharacter, it is included in
the set by default. The example configuration doesn't explicitly mention
the HOSTNOTESURL macro, but it makes sense it would be applied to
everything used in the notification commands.

I've got several different ext host/svc info links set up to various
other pages. That's great, and I'm using $HOSTNOTESURL$ in alert
emails. $HOSTNOTESURL$ seems to be stripping out the ampersand "&"
during expansion:
extended host info defined in config as:
notes_url
https://monitor/ganglia/?r=day&c=Opteron_2.4_GHz_Single_Core_8G_Deathstar_Cluster&h=$HOSTNAME$.domainname.com
This expands in the email alert (...EXTENDED HOST
INFO:\n\"$HOSTNOTESURL$...) as:
EXTENDED HOST INFO:
https://monitor/ganglia/?r=dayc=Opteron_2.4_GHz_Dual_Core_16G_Deathstar_Clusterh=hostname.domainname.com
I've double-checked the printf to make sure & gets through un-escaped
(it does), and the "Extra Host Notes" link generated by the CGI's is
rendered properly:
https://monitor/ganglia/?r=day&c=Opteron_2.4_GHz_Dual_Core_16G_Deathstar_Cluster&h=hostname.domainname.com
Any input on this? It looks to me like the chars are just being
stripped when it's expressed in the alert. I can properly printf &
otherwise (I generate a link to acknowledge the outage in the same alert).
Thanks,
