We have a pathauto pattern of [node:menu-link:parent:url:path]/[node:title] which produces paths based on the menu structure. When there's a <firstchild> entry, however, the first token breaks as it ends up recursively producing the path of the first child. For example, when creating the first child its value is node/x, so the path becomes node/x/foo. When regenerating the path it bcomes node/x/foo/foo, then node/x/foo/foo/foo and so on. Currently the only way to resolve this is to manually set the path for the first child (to say bar, then any siblings would be like bar/qux).

This recognises usage of the token and determines what the <firstchild> menu item's parent's path is (including multiple levels), and will use that instead. So for a foo/<firstchild>/bar structure the path will be foo/bar.

The 4 year old patch still applied cleanly to the latest 7.x-1.x dev snapshot and works well for me so changing the status to RTBC.
