I'm a bit concerned with unbounded amounts of aliases being dumped on the client. If the alias is tied to a token, a client can just drop excess tokens and aliases, but if the design somehow evolves into a many headed alias thing, there could be some abuse/resource issues.

Wouldn't it be reasonable to limit this to a single alias?

A future version linked to downgrade protection and version negotiation could have a more complicated pattern, with more time for analysis and design.
