A friend pointed out to me the gemara near the top of Pesachim 95b.
In discussing that there is no Hallel on Pesach Sheni the gemara brings the
Pasuk from Yeshayu "Ha-Shir Ye-he Lachem Ke-lel Hitchadesh Chag" Rashi
explains this to mean that the song (Hallel) will be sung when we are
redeemed at the end of the exile
"On the day that you are redeemed from the exile". Since lechol hade'os
that has not yet happened (for instance, nobody has changed the davening
to drop all the requests for the redemption, since it's already happened),
it follows that hallel should *not* be said.

: Clearly, then, it is not appropriate to say Hallel on Yom Atzmaut.
Nor on Chanukah?
Besides, what R' Yochananan mishum R' Shim'on ben Yehotzadaq actually
says there on that pasuq is that "laylah she'ein mequdash lachag, ein
ta'un hallel". Which would also exclude Chanukah.
From context, I would say the gemara is asking why the existence of a
holiday qorban in particular is not sufficient to justify Hallel on Pesach
Sheini. So RY says, because the night is not muqdash to the qorban hachag.
As for Rashi, he is commenting on the quoted pasuq. "The song will be for
you -- on the day that you will be redeemed from the galus." "Like in the
night which will be santified chag -- like the way you are acustomed to
sing on the night which is sanctified chag. And you do not have a nightof
chag to demand shirah except the nights of Pesachim, on their eating."
Rashi is saying that Yeshiah 30:29 promises another holiday in which
Hallel will be said at night. Not a lack of other holidays with Hallel
for lesser reasons, nor even another holiday with Hallel at night before
establishing one to celbrate the complete ge'ulah.
Tir'u baTov!

I'm pretty sure this does exclude any other night-time hallel. That,
after all, is the gemara's point in quoting the pasuk in the first place
-- to show that there is only one night on which hallel is said, and
therefore it is not said on Pesach Sheni.
I also don't see the implication that the future holiday's hallel will
be said at night. All the pasuk seems to be saying is that there will
be a new yomtov on which you will say hallel, as you do on the night
that is sanctified for a chag. Yeshayahu is merely citing an example
of an occasion when hallel is said, and could easily have cited a
different one instead, but he would have had to be more specific,
since there are many days on which hallel is said, and many on which
it is not. By citing Pesach night as his example, he can get away
with saying, essentially, "like on hallel night", which is not ambiguous
because there is only one. From this the gemara learns that there is
no hallel on Pesach Sheni.
