I've been meaning to look at this in detail, but haven't had time. My 
gut feeling though is that we shouldn't have a special case in this code 
for when the alias starts with "cd". I'll have to do some testing with 
aliases and sudo in order to have a more-helpful answer though.

At a guess, I think a better place to add code for this is likely in 
em-tramp.el.
