This doesn't surprise me, although it does surprise me that they are
ASCII nicks.  What that patch does is attempt a series of "logical"
conversions for an alias, and if they all fail it gives up and removes
it.  I am pleased that it seems to have fallen back properly and
simply not provided an alias; I am not pleased that it failed.  For
now I'll get this committed (as it seems to be better than what we
had before), and I'll look into why it might have been failing for
other things.
