This is the designed behavior. The aka is just a convenience, but as
I've written before[0], there doesn't exist a full aliasing table, so
the AKA in the meta page is just there for convenience (and debugging
for me) , it is not really used anywhere else. It will, also, not
record multiple names and depend on the order the keyservers are added.

Nor is the cross-peering check in the meta page used for anything, it
is only there for convenience for the keyserver operators.
