That's a bug (well, some may say it's a limitation of the current hack
that's used, but the result is the same).  Please report it via M-x
report-emacs-bug (you can put me in the "X-Debbugs-Cc:").
Fixing it will probably require some work, tho, so don't expect it to be
fixed quickly.

Actually, since partial-completion is enabled by default (Emacs-23,
IIRC) you can skip the first TAB and go straight for

    M-x ali-r TAB

But in the present case, I guess

    M-x M-p

would work even better.
