I still investigating this, so I'm not entirely sure if its a bug or just me, but....
I too had a hard time getting the DOWNTIME tag to work (adding it to already existing hosts).
I finally got it working by deleting the host entry out of the hosts.cfg file, deleting history, then re-adding the host with the DOWNTIME tag and it was all good.
