This is perhaps a bad way to answer the question, but:
I'm hoping that the vtable PDD should be around in a few days (Pssst, Dan!)
and it might be worth holding onto your questions until you've had a look at
it, as it will probably give you a much clearer idea of what's going to be
going on than any amount of discussion.
That doesn't mean that the PDD will cover aliasing, (as far as I know, it
doesn't yet) but it does mean that once you've seen how vtables work, you
might have a much better idea of how aliasing can be possible, and we'll
all be a lot better *equipped* for this sort of conversation.
