major issue: deleting domain alias deletes domain files

iHuman

Basic Pleskian
the process:
- create a domain (example.com)
- create a domain alias (alias.com)
- set the domain alias to include web
- delete the domain alias via the Plesk control panel
- ftp to your primary domain (example.com)
- all of the files have been deleted

I've had this happen twice now...both times with v11.

very frustrating...
 
I can't reproduce it on Plesk 11.5:

After creating and removing alias I see the same content of directory:
