There should be no issues with recent versions of Firebird, but I seem
to vaguely recall issues in Firebird 2.1 or earlier, but that might also
have been something with differences in case of filenames.

IIRC, the engine resolves the alias to the filename, and then it is as
if you specified that filename.
