Okay, easy enough.

You aren't being explicit about the pattern matching.

>Did I do something wrong here?

When you do not specify a simple pattern operator, mutt uses the value 
of $default_hook to construct the pattern. I don't know what yours is, 
but... the default value of $default_hook is "~f %s !~P | (~P ~C %s)", 
but who knows what it is on your system. It's better to be explicit:

     send-hook '~t abc@xxxxxxx' \
         "push '<edit-cc>,oas@xxxxxxx<enter>'"

If that doesn't work, try this:

     send2-hook '~t abc@xxxxxxx !~C oas@xxxxxxx' \
         "push '<edit-cc>,oas@xxxxxxx<enter>'"
