Have you real test?
My test - works fine:

BusyBox v0.61.pre (2003.01.23-11:42+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

dzo@dzo:busybox-0.61pre 1$ alias rm="/bin/rm -i"
dzo@dzo:busybox-0.61pre 2$ alias
alias rm='/bin/rm -i'
dzo@dzo:busybox-0.61pre 3$ rm busybox.links
/bin/rm: remove `busybox.links'? y
dzo@dzo:busybox-0.61pre 4$
