Bug Maximizer can trigger aliases when not intended

[Erosion]

I have an alias called tape, which folds garbage tote into a wad of used tape and equips it. While I can work around this, when maximizer uses, for example, gaffer's tape, the word triggers the alias even though it probably shouldn't be interacting with aliases.

Is this intentional design, or a byproduct of how mafia's internal method of using items?

This is byproduct of how aliases work.
Either use a cli script file (caleld tape or tape.txt) ...
... or use a "start of line" alias only:
alias tape => .... %%
(%% is a placeholder for whatever you have in your command line after the alias, but it also has the sideeffect that this alias is only accepted at the start of a line (or a command, I don't remember - the difference is in how many times it is accepted in the single line "tape; tape; tape"))

Yeah. Aliases are quick-and-dirty shortcuts, and they create real problems in some cases. Best to use them sparingly.

It looks like your solution is to fix your alias such that it only triggers as the first word of a command.
