It's not a bug. It's a reassignment.

Perhaps if the alias is found to exist and not have been changed (in terms of the "data" part) then it shouldn't be broadcast as a tx at all?


This would lead to a problem...

Alice sends transactions:
Google = XXX
Google = YYY
Google = XXX

Forgers see:
Google = XXX
Google = XXX
Google = YYY

Blockchain contains:
Google = XXX
Google = YYY

Alice sees in the blockchain:
Google = XXX
Google = YYY

Now Alice would like to set Google to ZZZ but she can't coz she not sure if it's not reassigned to XXX after a while.
