Some clients, for whatever reason, have a list of commands that the user is able to use. If the user tries to use a command that isn't on this list, they are told that it isn't a valid command; what the client should do, in my opinion, is to send the command anyways, and let the server tell the user that the command is invalid. Try using /raw bs assign #channel botNick or /quote bs assign #channel botNick and you'll see that it is a valid command, just one that is not recognized by the client you are using.

No. /bs works fine. In fact, using the /ns /cs and /bs aliases is more secure than using /msg servicename since it cannot mistakenly send to a malicious user if our security systems happen to fail.

You actually have to /msg botserv assign #yourChannel botNick
instead of /bs assign #yourChannel botNick
