Csh aliases and process control

In my .cshrc I had several three command aliases of the
form alias foo 'x ; y ; z'.
If I stopped process y, process z was never initiated, a
different form of the sequence bug noted in csh.1,
where stopping y causes z to be immediately executed
(The manual example was for terminal input sequences).
Is this bug/feature generally well known ?
Bracketting the alias has restored correct behaviour on
process suspension.
