I discovered that my installation had two aliases databases. One was in /etc/ and the other was in /etc/postfix/. Main.cf was pointing to only one of them (in /etc/), but in some strange way the aliases database in /etc/postfix was influencing Postfix's behavior. Is that by design? I got rid of one aliases file/database, ran newaliases and the problem is solved.
