Steps to recreate:

1. create a node
2. uncheck "automatic alias"
3. enter a desired node path
4. save the node

The node will still be saved with the automatic alias, and a redirect created to the path that you entered.

This has happened on a site with "editing workflow" enabled; not sure if that is the cause.

This problem is caused by workbench moderation conflicting with pathauto; in order to use the two together you must also enable pathauto_persist. The above commit does so. See the following issues for elaboration:

#1287390: Workbench and pathauto
#1087044: Custom URL path settings do not survive moderation
#1379088: Changing a title on a draft of an already published article generates a 404 when publishing
