This is the expected behavior. You can disable alerts for hosts in maintenance by using a custom group and policy. Create a custom group with the membership criteria set to include only hosts in maintenance:
Create a new policy off your default policy and disable all of the host alerts. Assign this policy to the group for hosts in maintenance. This should disable any host alerts while the host is in maintenance and move the host back to your default policy when it exits maintenance.
Putting the host object in vROps in maintenance mode will also stop the alerts, but I don't think it's as simple to automate. Alan has some nice functions in PowerCLI.

You'd have to call this from vCenter or vRO when the hosts enter and exit maintenance mode.
