Yep, it was a regexp problem. I had tested with single-word group names, but anything with a whitespace in it would fail the regexp check.
Try the attached patch:
copy the patch to your hobbit/server/bin dir, then chdir there:
patch -p0 < bb-hostedit-groupname-patch
I've already updated the distro, so anybody that downloads it in the future doesnt need to apply this patch (although I didnt update the version number, naughty naughty).

Hrm, the manpage for bb-hosts on the hobbit site says the the syntax
should be "group-compress".
Apologies, the error includes the "-" between group and compress.
I've never used either one; do you have an entry called 'group
compress' that functions as you'd expect
it to?
An example from my host file is:
group-compress <h3>Non-Production Servers </h3>
