When alias expansion is enabled for a script in bash native mode, prefixing

This is a bug because the assignment should only have effect on that command.
You're probably right, but it's an interesting question.
The idea is that
POSIXLY_CORRECT=y true
is essentially equivalent (assuming POSIXLY_CORRECT is not already set) to
POSIXLY_CORRECT=y ; true; unset POSIXLY_CORRECT
and turning off posix mode resets a default environment.
