Causes subpath_alias to stop working when Force Authentication is disabled

Issue Summary

I had a situation recently where I enabled the securesite module on a site and the subpath alias module stopped working.

Unfortunately, I could not duplicate the problem on a second server with the same hosting company nor on my local machine. So...I'm a bit stumped about the exact steps to repeat the issue which is why this is in "needs more info" status.

If you want to reproduce this, install securesite, subpath alias, and devel. Give anonymous users rights to view devel info and create a node with an alias. If you visit alias/devel while anon and Force Authentication is set to "Never" at /admin/settings/securesite, you'll get a 404. If you set Force Authentication to, say, Always, you'll get the secure site form at /alias/devel.

I was able to fix this locally by giving secure site a heavy weight in the system table (1001).
