:b doesn't invoke :browse, or even generate an ambiguous command error

Previously, :b Prelude would show the things exported by Prelude. Now, it emits the mysterious error message:

module 'Prelude' is not interpreted

I am told that this is because it is GHCi is invoking :break instead of :browse. Shouldn't this result in GHCi complaining that :b is ambiguous? I also think :b should be explicitly defined as an alias for :browse.
