Typing the following at a REPL:

(str ::junk/junk)

(where there's no alias for junk) gives me:

RuntimeException Invalid token: ::junk/junk 
 clojure.lang.Util.runtimeException (Util.java:219)
RuntimeException Unmatched delimiter: )  clojure.lang.Util.runtimeException 
(Util.java:219)

A couple of things:

(i) Invalid token seems a bit curt: doesn't it mean something like "no such 
namespace alias"?
(ii) A complete aside, but: the interactive REPL obviously isn't 
disregarding the rest of the line when it gets a token error.

Another aside: why does Clojure require "::" for aliases but only ":" for 
namespace-qualified keywords? Under what circumstance would I use :junk/junkin 
any way other than to mean 
::junk/junk (or :my.namespace.junk/junk, given the appropriate alias)?
