You might be able to work around the inability to stop the expansion of a group. I tried the following in my Exchange Online lab tenant:
- I created a distribution group called dgHide, added members and selected the checkbox to hide the group from address lists.
- I then created a distribution group called dgUnHide. The only member I added to it was dgHide.
- Email sent to dgUnHide was delivered to the members of dgHide.
- When I opened the email in Outlook clicking the + beside dgUnHide yielded an error message. Trying to view its properties and check the membership told me there were no members.
Thanks

Chris, thank you. Four years after I implemented this. Better later than never.
Not sure if another technique exists now, at least I didn't find.
