  You mark the site(s) in question dead on the pathalias command line. We have
a similar problem in that we talk to a site that has a name conflict with
another site that is officially registered; thus, the paths "through" this
site were bogus, so I had to prevent their generation. 

pathalias -d site1 -d site2 .....

This will cause pathalias to generate routes TO site1 and site2, but will
avoid routes through them unless there is no other way. This sounds like
exactly what you want.
