FWIW, "Extending Rx" in the ELisp manual says:
• Definitions are only ever expanded in calls to ‘rx’ or
‘rx-to-string’, not merely by their presence in definition macros.
So I think this ought to be supported, and you should file a bug:
either the implementation or the documentation should be fixed.
