Normal. You can replace an alias URI with a new URI, even if it is the same URI. I consider it a bug, but CfB says it is a feature

Why would you even consider that a bug?
What con's do you have in mind?

What value is there in changing an aliases URI to the exact same URI. Nothing changed, why should that get accepted? Why not get an error like "you must have submitted duplicate URI", especially if it happens very close in time.

Due to some issues on my side with Java sort of freezing on random I've burned at least 50 NXT on resubmitting same aliases.
Same alias, same URL. But there is one another thing that bothers me and that is no confirmation dialogue of any sort in case
alias is available. Many times I would like to just check alias status, nothing more but basically, just like I'm practically forced to
use 3rd-party services to check blockchain data with Bitcoin even tough I have full blockchain locally with Bitcoin-Qt, that same
way NXT is forcing me to use 3rd-party services to just check alias availability. That or I might burn 1 NXT on alias that I actualy
do not want to register.
