Enabling "Rename user path" makes all users/* paths generate 404's

Problem/Motivation

After enabling "Rename user path" in the configuration for this module, all users/* paths generate a 404 in the browser. For example: Browsing to https://www.mydrupalsite.org/users/testuser will generate a 404 page where "testuser" is a valid username for the Drupal instance at mydrupalsite.org. Disabling "Rename user path" makes it so all users/* paths go to their respective pages (showing the normal stuff like View tab, Edit tab, etc.)

Steps to reproduce

Install and enable the rename_admin_paths module (version 7.x-2.4).
Browse to the configuration page for this module at admin/config/user-interface/rename-admin-paths.
Check the checkbox labeled "Rename user path".
Fill in an alias in the text box labeled Replace "user" in user path by.
Click the "Save configuration" button.
Browse to any users/username path (where username is any valid Drupal username in the instance) and the page will return a 404.
