Aladdin could just wish to be the most powerful sorcerer of the world, turn into a giant snake and fight Jaffar. No way that would backfire

"I wish for what I should wish for."

There you go. Now your wish contains all of your morality and cannot be turned against you.

What if the genie takes it as "this mortal shouldn't be constraint by their moral guidelines, but should use my sensibilities instead..."

If you've got an evil genie, this would suck... But a more benign genie might think that it would be the best if you got a whole lot of figs as your wish, because that genie loves figs.
