If I enter a path in the Default front page field of admin/settings/site-information, I get this warning: The menu system stores system paths only, but will use the URL alias for display. aliasedPath has been stored as nonAliasedPath

This error message is pointless. Who cares how it's being stored internally?

Since this error has no benefit for the vast majority of users, it is likely to cause confusion.

Thought about this more, and I think it's actually a minor user interface bug.

Indeed doesn't seem like something we would do.

I see this the same way, but given that we for instance let people manually edit the internal machine name for node types and vocabularies, it seems that there are people who really don't like Drupal doing something in their DB without them knowing it.

If I'm a user and I enter a-path-alias for the frontpage and after submit I see that the form element has been changed to an-unaliased-path, I'm probably going to wonder what the heck is going on and why didn't it save the path I wanted.

@Dave Reid: It doesn't display that way for me.

Oh crap. Well nevermind then. We should remove this message. :)\

Note that we do the same thing when adding a menu item, but in that case we do only display the normal path in the form after submit, so keepng this same message in menu.admin.inc is fine.
