You can't use patterns when accessing groups' elements, only group names.

Try it with group_names magic variable:

  - name: restarted jboss
    service: name=jboss state=restarted enabled=yes
    when: server_group in group_names and ('cfgmgr-'+server_group) not in group_names

This code is not tested.
