It's sorta fixed (if you're talking about the alias list part, and not the entire contents part).

This works:

tell application "Finder"
set foo to folders of alias "Dora:" as alias list
end tell

--> {alias "Dora:Applications:", alias "Dora:Applications (Mac OS 9):", alias "Dora:Developer:", alias "Dora:Documents:", alias "Dora:Graphics:", alias "Dora:Library:", alias "Dora:OS 9 Desktop:", alias "Dora:System:", alias "Dora:System Folder:", alias "Dora:Users:"}

But this doesn't:

tell application "Finder"
set foo to folders of alias "Dora:"
set bar to foo as alias list
end tell

--> {folder "Applications" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "Applications (Mac OS 9)" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "Developer" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "Documents" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "Graphics" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "Library" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "OS 9 Desktop" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "System" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "System Folder" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "Users" of startup disk of application "Finder"}
