The text in member_moderation_notice is only sent in a "rejection"
notice to the user when the post is rejected because
member_moderation_action is Reject. It doesn't apply if
member_moderation_action is Hold.

Further, it doesn't even apply if the post is held and subsequently
rejected by a moderator. In that case, the default rejection reason is
still the standard 'Your message was deemed inappropriate by the
moderator.' or it's i18n equiovalent.

You cannot modify the held post notice for moderated members only. You
can create a modified postheld.txt template per the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9>, but it will apply to all held posts
regardless of reason.
