AFAICS, customize-face does nothing special, other than filtering out
aliases (but accepts them if the user types them). The set-variable
situation is very different: it does not accept a variable name unless
it thinks it is a user-variable, so the easiest answer is just making
it believe that aliases of user-variables are also user-variables.
This will generate more answers in the completion list; I'm not sure
whether that is a problem or not (I tend to think that it is not, as
the list is pruned quite quickly as the user types in characters).
