As an extra note:

The problem I encountered was when the alias was defined using single quote marks:

alias ls='ls blabla "problem"'

this is parsed to:

("ls" . "blabla \"problem\"")

Which is written as:

alias ls="blabla "problem""

Which is wrong.

So the problem relies on the fact that the quotations marks have been changed from ' to " and the escaping have not been adjusted accordingly.

:)
