0.5.13.5: unwanted alias expansions

Hello.

I have a quite clumsy script environment with ~/.profile, ~/.shrc,
~/.bash_logout etc that i try to use for all shells.  Tried at
least, for many years, now for some time have only bash, dash via
Linux distribution.  Anyhow.  Imagine ~/.shrc doing among others

        [ -f "$HOME/.shared.alias" ] && . "$HOME/.shared.alias"

and that doing

  ___aa l '\command ls ${LS_COLOUR_FLAG} -aFtr'

where that comes from .shrc again and is

        if [ -n "$___SHTYPE" ] || ( type alias | grep 'builtin\|built-in\|intrinsic') >/dev/null 2>&1; then
                ___a() { alias "$1"="$2"; }
                ___aa() { alias "$1"="$2"; }
                ___ua() { unalias "$1"; }
        else
                echo
                echo '  *No alias support, aliases will be shell functions!*'
[skip]
        fi

so that.  Now after

  ___aa l '\command ls ${LS_COLOUR_FLAG} -aFtr'

again, with debug instrumentation:

  echo ALI-0
  i= j= k= l=
  echo ALI-1
          if (ps -o user,pid,ppid,ni,%cpu,sz:6,rss:6,stat,time,stime,tty,cmd) >/dev/null 2>&1; then
                  k='-o user,pid,ppid,ni,%cpu,sz:6,rss:6,stat,time,stime,tty,cmd'
  echo ALI-2
          elif ( ps -F ) >/dev/null 2>&1; then
                  k=-F
          elif ( ps -f ) >/dev/null 2>&1; then
                  k=-f
          else
                  k='-o user,pid,pcpu -o args'
          fi
  echo ALI-3
          (ps -e $k) >/dev/null 2>&1 && l=-e || l=-A
  echo ALI-4

So in dash context:

  #?0|lecce:tmp$ dash -i
  shrc
  0 is dash
  JA
  ALI-0
  ../  .system-hook-1  .ICE-unix/  .X11-unix/  .X0-lock  tmux-1000/  .pkgmk/  .nail/  cron.MXurmD/  ./  s-nail-edbaseuR2PSP
  ALI-1
  ALI-2
  ALI-3
  ../  .system-hook-1  .ICE-unix/  .X11-unix/  .X0-lock  tmux-1000/  .pkgmk/  .nail/  cron.MXurmD/  ./  s-nail-edbaseuR2PSP
  ALI-4

what we see is actually two times the expansion of the l alias.
Which for completeness sake is reported as

  #?0|lecce:tmp$ alias l
  'l=\command ls ${LS_COLOUR_FLAG} -aFtr'

whereas in bash it is

  alias l='\command ls ${LS_COLOUR_FLAG} -aFtr'


By the way i also see from the ~/.bash_logout which is called via

        ___on_exit() {
  echo on exit
                [ -f "$HOME/.bash_logout" ] && . "$HOME/.bash_logout"
        }
        trap ___on_exit EXIT

  #?0|lecce:tmp$
  on exit
  Logging out ... and:
          (a)  Cleanup.
            (*)  Do nothing but logging out.
  Three seconds to go, choose or loose ...
  Ttwo
  Ciao and out

that i cannot input anything in the above that really is

  if (echo|read -t 1) >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo ein
          read -t 3 input
  else
  echo Ttwo
          PROCID=$$
          export PROCID
          trap "echo 'Timeout expired'; exit 0" QUIT
          /bin/sh -c '/bin/sleep 3 && kill -QUIT $PROCID' </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &
          killer=$!
          read input
          kill -TERM $killer
  fi

whereas bash let's me input something.
Like i said this shell environment is way over two decades old,
with rewrites, sure, but it used to work with quite some shells
say before Corona or so.
