New submission from Matt Austin <maustin126 at gmail.com>:
Observed with Mercurial 1.9.1
If the user has specified an alias that is the prefix of a command, then the
prefix alias is used, even when the entire command is specified. (e.g. if
the user specifies an alias for 'id', then whatever the alias for id is will
be used even when the full command 'identify' is used).
