[support] creating menus with "system" destination URLs

[Neil: esl-lounge.com]

Earnie,

when you say menu item name, do you mean what shows on the front end?

When I go to create a new menu item, I have 3 fields to fill in:

- title
- description
- path

So what should I avoid? The problem is that I'm using PathAuto so I have 
quite a few URL Aliases flying about.

profile/1 instead of node/6 (I used nodeprofile module)
user/5 is default so that shouldn't be causing problems, but is
/search shouldn't be a URL alias either and is causing problems
/forum isn't causing problems (meaning I can put sub items under it and they 
show)

So while I accept aliases cause a problem, I can't see any pattern emerging. 
I even tried to use absolute URLs (http://www.mysite.com/search) instead of 
relative without any luck.
