The tag histories of these posts show that dragonball was visually applied (and that dragon_ball_z was removed for whatever reason; maybe to match the manga?). However, because of the alias, they still showed up regular in the dragon_ball (or rather, /db) search. It was only by virtue of one user doing this that I'd'n't have to sift through everything one-by-one, but...

1) Was this accomplished by the "copyright:" prefix?
2) Is there any way to search out aliased tags ("dragonball" exclusively, in this case)?

I read your post but I'm not 100% sure what you're asking. Are you asking how someone applied a tag that should have been aliased to something else?

If so, I have no idea. I just tried it and it didn't show up like that. I also tried typing it too and it still didn't show up in the tag change list (I was testing it here) The first time I tried dragonball, the second time copy:dragonball, and the third time dragonball via a tag script. In all cases it seems to be doing what it should.

Also, what do you mean by "search out aliased tags"?

The only way to do 2 would be to de-alias it and then search.

There's actually an active bug where if you insert a tag in a certain way it skips the alias, it affected tohsaka rin for a long time and I'm sure it's affected other tags.

e: actually it may have been inserting tagtype before the tag and fixed.
