The simplest solution would probably be to ignore __aligned__ attributes completely when we have an array. Or to do the change you suggested for the vector tests and have the attribute attached to the array and not the element type.
Another possibility is to treat the alignment attribute as applying to the array as a whole (that is, the array is aligned to a multiple of 16 bytes, but the elements aren't), perhaps with a warning that this use is deprecated. I propose this because the tests suggest that this use is common enough that it appears in tests.
If there is a lot of code out there that does this, that might indeed be necessary, ugly though it would be.
