Ted,
unfortunately I am more than a little busy at the moment - and it would probably be a day or two before I can actually take a meaningful look at this

On the other hand, I suspect I know what the issue you’re running into is

Due to existing complexity in the interpreter, a CommandAlias isn’t directly executable. So, we have CommandInterpreter::BuildAliasResult() which is the function that is responsible for taking an alias apart and passing the pieces to the command interpreter for actual execution.
In your case, what is happening is that you have an alias to an alias, so the underlying command is actually an alias

What one would need to try and do is write a recursive function that, given an alias, potentially nested, spits out the final OptionArgVectorSP and non-alias CommandObject
It is something I can work on, but as I said, it’s going to be a few days before I can get to it. So, if you want to try your hand at a patch to this effect, I would be most happy to take a look at it

Apologies for the breakage and thanks for reporting this

- Enrico
