It is actually a feature. Active checks of the host were expensive in older versions of Nagios, so Nagios would correctly assume a host was up if it was able to succesfully check a sercice associated with it. That code changed and active checks are now part of the scheduling logic.
Why don't you want Nagios to check if the host is up? You can use the check dummy plugin as the host check command and never check the host but then you will defeat the logic that Nagios uses when a service goes down to force check the host and supress the service notifications till it comes back up and everything gets rechecked.
