Acidfree albums get strange aliases?

[If this turns out be a acidfree issue, I'll move this to that project but right now I don't know]

Acidfree uses nodes for two purposes - for albums and images (and videos too but that is not relevant now).

Albums are pages that display a bunch of images. I thought Pathauto "Taxonomy term path settings" applied only to taxonomy/ type of URLs. but something seems to be messed up with pathauto + acidfree.

I edited node/119, which happens to be an Album, so I expected that the pathauto "Node path settings" item "Pattern for all Album paths" would get applied, but no - the pattern used was from Taxonomy "Pattern for all Acidfree albums paths", here's one of the messages:

Created new alias category/acidfree-albums/albums for node/119, replacing albums

This seems wrong - a category/ for a node/?
Where could the problem be?
Under Node path settings, there is also "Pattern for all Image paths". I have both Album and Image paths for nodes set to [termpath-raw]/[title-raw].
The Taxonomy setting for Acidfree albums paths is same as the default -
category/[vocab-raw]/[catpath-raw]
