Yes, the presumption is that all hotels in Express Deals are also available through the non-opaque priceline side. This is based on my own experience with Priceline, all the hotels I got through express deals in the past were always listed on the non-opaque section.

Although there must be some Priceline-regular-side hotels that fit these criteria, the extension tells me there are no matching hotels.
You actually found is a bug in the extension. Because the deals you were choosing had no amenities associated, the extension was doing a wrong query and obtaining no results in return.

I have corrected the error and pushed the update to the Google Chrome webstore. Your extension should be updated in the next few hours or you can always reinstall it directly.

Thanks for the feedback! Please let me know if you find more discrepancies.
