I escaped out the _ characters, and am still getting the same results with 1.6.2.. files are being
written as messages_25 (25 being $DAY)

My rules now look like this:

destination messages.network {
file("/var/log/hosts/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/messages\_$HOST\_$YEAR\_$MONTH\_$DAY"
                                owner(root) group(sysadmin) perm(0640) dir_perm(0700)
create_dirs(yes) ); };
