I don't know what happened in your case, but I cannot reproduce.

Do you have any diagnostic steps I can do to figure out what happened?

I fetched a fresh copy of pkg-1.17.5~d6f9535722.pkg from the public repo and
installed it using pkg-static, but that didn't fix the problem.

I can at least confirm this only happens on one particular system.  I have
15 systems all using the same private pkg repo, and only one has this
problem.

it means on the system with this issue, someone touched /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf

The aliases are set there, the original file is stored at the following place:
/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf.sample

Ya I found that about 10 seconds after sending my last email. But it raises another question:

The non-default pkg.conf had been on the system since August 2021, but alias commands like pkg leaf worked on 1.17.4. Why does 1.17.5 require pkg.conf define the aliases?
