The purpose of dmenu is to execute something instead of executing it with an ampersand (&) in the shell imo. And in that case respecting aliases is a good thing, imho.
Creating scripts in ~/bin/ is just as easy as using the "alias" builtin, but you'll have far fewer hassles. Using scripts also encourages you to do more than just aliasing, so you build up a rich collection of little shell programs that suit your individual working style much better than the ones they're built on. That surely is what the UNIX gods intended for us to do. :-) Tony
