I cannot replicate this using dhcpcd-7.
In both cases, the variable is available to the hook scripts.
What version are you using?

At a guess, the profile you specified isn't being loaded - maybe a typo 
in the name hardware address?
Try adding a profile for 192.168.0.1 as well
Also, try adding the debug command at the top of dhcpcd.conf and re-trying.
You'll then see messages in the log such as
eth0: no profile XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
eth0: selected profile 192.168.0.1

IF you see that then there is a typo in your hardware address profile name.
