I should have added that, with enumitem.sty, there's no need to define a separate algenum list. Rather, you may directly do the list with enumitem like this:

\begin{enumerate}[wide,leftmargin=*,label=Alg-\arabic*]
\item The first
\item The second
\end{enumerate}

I cannot figure out what is changed in that package (which is available from the MAA site, but you really don't have to get it.  If I know what is changed, I can change it back locally.  Unfortunately, the documentation for the enumerate package doesn't seem to mention this.
