I think the alias should be used for compaction, but not expansion 
(where the context is eliminated). So compacted output should use @iri 
and expansion would still use @id.

That certainly looks like a bug to me. Aliasing any keyword in a context 
shouldn't change what the expanded output looks like since expansion 
strips the context away. I'll look into fixing it when I get a chance.
