I ran your test using the version of Qexo in CVS, and got:

<nomatch>H. World : Andruw Jones</nomatch>
<nomatch>H. World : Hndruw jack</nomatch>
<nomatch>H. World : Hello World</nomatch>
<nomatch>A.J. Foo : Andruw Jones</nomatch>
<nomatch>A.J. Foo : Hndruw jack</nomatch>
<nomatch>A.J. Foo : Hello World</nomatch>
<nomatch>H.J. Bar : Andruw Jones</nomatch>
<nomatch>H.J. Bar : Hndruw jack</nomatch>
<nomatch>H.J. Bar : Hello World</nomatch>

You might want to try a newer version.
If you don't want to use the CVS version,
try the 1.7beta1 version, available on the
standard ftp site.
