Actually it does have a problem, because it matches
http://host/xyz123
and redirects to
http://xyz.host/
this is because it can match without the trailing context.
So I think one needs to anchor the regex:
RedirectMatch ^xyz(/.*)?$ http://xyz.host$1
That seems to work OK.
Thanks for putting me on the right track.
