I have always used aluminium cooking pots for cooking rice and boiling water on jungle treks and have never had a problem with them. Mostly they are suspended over the fire, but often just bunged on top of the coals. Great for bone soup, too.

You won't melt an aluminium pan over or on a fire so long as there is food/liquid in it. You will melt empty beer cans and aluminium tent pegs if you bung them in a hot fire.
don't be silly, aluminium oxidises , the hotter or more acidic conditions the pan is under the more oxidisation. It de-tempers and white dust can be rubbed from the surface with your hand
Hence why people go on about annodisation ! The film on top of water is partly aluminium. If you leave a thick aluminium like COLIN suggests for making stew in over heat for long enough you get a sludge in it.
