No need to do that, just make the aliasing conditional. Here's what I have
in my .bashrc.

	if [ "(" "$TERM" = "xterm" ")" -o "(" "$TERM" = "xterm+" ")" ] ; then
  		set_headline() {	
    		case "$PWD" in
      		${HOME}*) echo -n "\033]0;`expr $PWD : $HOME'\(.*\)'`\007" ;;
      		*) echo -n "\033]0;${PWD}\007" ;;
    		esac
  		}

  		cd()	{ builtin cd $*; set_headline; }
  		pushd()	{ builtin pushd $*; set_headline; }
  		popd()	{ builtin popd $*; set_headline; }
		pwd() { builtin pwd ; set_headline ; }

		set_headline
	fi
