Perhaps the behavior you desire can be controlled by the "Update action" settings in the Pathauto settings. Under 5.x this is at admin/settings/pathauto under Pathauto 6.x this is at admin/build/path/pathauto
Currently set to "Create a new alias. Leave the existing alias functioning.". Perhaps I should revise to "do nothing", as this should not effect new alias creation for nodes which didn't previously have one, I should think.
Another feature that people want is for Pathauto to "remember" the state of the checkbox if you have unchecked it once. I spent a bit of time on that but was unable to see it to completion. Freso (the Pathauto co-maintainer) has offered to start to work on that problem
Yes, that would be ideal. I don't really want to disable pathauto as someone suggested, because it is useful for other things. It just happens that this particular series of nodes is effected adversely by it.
