IMO this is the case. The variable is meant to make alias names of  
pushd or popd be the same as pushd or popd. When your alias cder is a  
cd plus an argument, a directory's name, then GNU Emacs fails: it  
sees cd – and this means: go home!

The work-around would be to have a stack of directories with you and  
you just pop the one you want to go to. (T)csh has the ~/.cshdirs  
file (or the file $dirsfile is pointing to). Bash has a very  
comfortable dirs command, but I don't see how its DIRSTACK is filled  
at startup ... by simple assignment?
