I think yes; upgrade to a newer version of Mutt.  I'm not sure, but I
think that was a problem that got fixed in some newer version.

Is that such a big chore?  I personally think that using a text editor
on a text file is much more efficient (faster) than trying to manage
through some edit-this-part-of-alias or edit-alias-in-that-way
functions inside Mutt.  All you need is a good text editor.

As for managing aliases from inside of Mutt, I have the following
macros:

macro index A ":unset wait_key\n!$EDITOR ~/.mutt/mail_aliases\n:set wait_key\n:source 
~/.mutt/mail_aliases\n" "edit and reload email alias file"
macro pager A ":unset wait_key\n!$EDITOR ~/.mutt/mail_aliases\n:set wait_key\n:source 
~/.mutt/mail_aliases\n" "edit and reload email alias file"
macro browser A ":unset wait_key\n!$EDITOR ~/.mutt/mail_aliases\n:set 
wait_key\n:source ~/.mutt/mail_aliases\n" "edit and reload email alias file"

So I just need to press A almost anywhere and I can edit my aliases.
