That's fine. An account can have multiple email aliasses and they're all 
stored into the same database object in the backend. So if a user had several 
aliases like "info", "contact" and "webmaster", it would read like this:

SET  54 . Email "aliases" "=" "&info&contact&webmaster&"

The "&" characters here are used as separators to allow the GUI backend to 
hash out the aliases if there are more than one. And yes, if there is only one 
alias defined, it will also be wrapped in "&" characters.

So that alias problem you're having is not really related or caused by this. 
Do you by chance use C-Name records for the DNS of this site? If you use C-
Name records, aliases will be ignored as Sendmail then cannot lookup the right 
domain name part of the recipient email address to match the recipients 
account with the alias database.
