Here's a way to expand highlighted areas that works with C-c \ and C-c C-v and
other highlighted sparse trees:

(defun org-expand-highlights ()
"Expand (cycle) highlighted tree nodes"
  (interactive)
  (dolist (highlight org-occur-highlights)
    (goto-char (overlay-start highlight))
    (org-cycle)))

Note that I barely know emacs lisp, so this may be clumsy. It appears to work
well enough for me. It does leave the node following highlighted.
