It's possible to use single instance store *and* use aliases, but the 
configuration is more convoluted:

- remove your domain from "mydestination"
- add it to "relay_domains"
- activate transport_map, e.g,

  "transport_map = hash:/etc/postfix/transport"

- activate virtual_map, e.g.,

"virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual"

- in /etc/postfix/transport:

your.domain    lmtp:unix:/your/lmtp/socket

-put your aliases in /etc/postfix/virtual:

root at your.domain poorsap at your.domain
someone at your.domain someoneelse at your.domain
sales at your.domain +sales at your.domain
usealiasfile at your.domain usealiasfile at localhost

(note that the third line will deliver mail to a top level shared 
folder, the last line will map to an address in localhost which in turn 
will use /etc/postfix/aliases)

- postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
- postmap /etc/postfix/transport


Aliases for "your.domain" will be managed through the virtual map, while 
all other aliases will follow the mapping in aliases.

I hope I did not forget any step
